# Getting Started as a Searcher

To onboard as a searcher, you need the following modifications:

* Instead of listening for new checkpoints, listen to Shio Feed (refer to [Connect to Shio Feed](https://docs.getshio.com/searcher-guides/connect-to-shio-feed)). When an opportunity transaction triggers an auction, relevant information will be broadcasted to the Feed, which is permissionless.
* Instead of submitting transaction to validators, submit Bid to Shio (refer to [Submit Bid](https://docs.getshio.com/searcher-guides/submit-bid)), to bid against being included at desired backrun position.
* In the PTB, add a MoveCall to Shio to pay exact your bid amount (refer to [Interact with Shio Contract](https://docs.getshio.com/searcher-guides/interact-with-shio-contract)).

On success, the winning Bids will be included in the same checkpoint, and most of the times right next to the opportunity.
