itch.io

Ok, thank you for your time :)

Okay so im repeating this again and again. I have a published game that currently has +80 DOWNLOADS AND WAS PLAYED BY YOUTUBERS. 

I’ve gotten an email from itch io stating that my game is indexed. I meant that my views and downloads are showing that the game is indexed. Not directly saying that my game is indexed. Sorry for my bad narration.

So please stop repeating basic FAQ lines that don’t apply here.

The issue is very simple:

An indexed game should appear when you search its exact title. Mine doesn’t.

AND THE GAME IS %100 indexed

no, my game is indexed i got an e mail from itch io saying my game is indexed. (That is why i created the topic)And i’m telling again, it was at the front page a few days ago.  And it still is. You just need to scroll more. Some youtubers even played it. And 300 views and 80 downloads is too much for a game to be non-indexed. 

Yes, it has a cover image.

this isn't about just finding like that, the situation is clearly an indexing bug.

ok, thank you for your time

Okay, so you are saying that for a game to appear in search results, it needs to get popular. However, the FAQ about indexing clearly states that “not being in the search list” is related to the indexing process, which my game already has.

Furthermore, I have another game that appeared in search results with only 30 views and 2 downloads. My current game has 200+ views and 60 downloads, yet it does not appear in search at all, even when I type the exact title.

This isn't about ranking. I think you misunderstood me

There is not a single thing about my situation in this page. My game is already in the Popular section of its tags, has 200+ views, 60 downloads, and is marked as Indexed — yet it still does not appear in search at all, even when I type the exact title.

Other brand-new games with far less traffic show up instantly.

This looks like a search index bug, not a visibility issue. Please check the index on your end.

Again i am NOT saying anything about popularity

Hi, I published a game recently using Name Your Own Price.

It shows “Indexed” on the dashboard, and it also appears in the Popular section of its tags, but it still does not appear in any search results, even after 3+ days.

Here are the details:

• Classification: Game

• Tags: 7 tags added

• Views: ~+200

• Downloads: ~61

• Visibility: Public

• Not paid (NYOP)

I tried refreshing the page, checking tags, and searching the exact game title, but it still doesn’t appear anywhere in the search bar.

Is this a known issue with the search index?
Is there something else I should do, or does it just require more time?

Thanks in advance.

Here is the link to the game:

Hello, thanks for playing the game. It was made in 2 days so it may include bugs :D

Ok thanks for the respond.

Hey everyone, I recently noticed that another account has uploaded a game that appears to be a copy of my original project “Sinister Studying”, which I published here:

https://demirdeniz1.itch.io/sinister-studying

The copied version seems to be this one:
❌ https://giandevgamess.itch.io/sinister-studying

I’m currently trying to contact the uploader and I’ve also reported the issue to itch.io support, but I wanted to ask the community:
– Has anyone dealt with something like this before?
– How long does it usually take for itch.io staff to respond to copyright or stolen-content reports?

Any advice or experience would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading and supporting honest creator

Thanks for the respond, so when small changes are being made it just goes back to the indexing point again ? I tried this with an old sample game but it seemed to be visible. (The game was actually a jam submission it was not visible in the first place too, i abondened the game for 3.5 years. Changed a few things several days ago to share it with someone.)

Hi,
I recently finished developing my new game (https://demirdeniz1.itch.io/sinister-studying), but I noticed that it hasn’t been indexed even after 4 days. At first, I thought that was completely normal — until I realized that my older game (https://demirdeniz1.itch.io/the-light-dungeon-hard), which I published 3.5 years ago, is also not visible, indexed. (I tried to contact with the support with several e-mails but got no answer after 72 hours.)

Does this mean I just have to keep waiting, or is there something wrong with my account or settings?

tnaks for the support and you are right the game has some bugs but im planning to fix in future

i told you it was hard :D ty fo the comment

thanks !

it's a really cool game that you made, and i like your tutorials especially this one, Keep it up!
