Project not showing up when searched

Hello, I just published a project, Crypt of Aurthura, and I've notice it is not showing up when I search my username or the title of the project. It has two attached files so it can't be that. Does anyone know that might be the problem? Thank you in advance.

Hey there,

I just published a project

New projects usually take 1-2 days to be indexed. Your project (at the time of this comment) has been public for about 8 hours. There’s also some extra delay on your first paid project, so I’d suggest to give it a few more days before your project is visible around the site.

Hope that helps :)

Thank you so much! I'll be patient and check in on it after a few days.

Maybe now the waiting time has improved, but a few months ago, the waiting time for your first paid game was about 2 to 4 weeks. Yes, weeks.

I'm telling you, because it was very common to see messages asking for indexing after 9 or 10 days and you just had to wait a little longer. Hopefully it was a temporary delay due to the holidays, but just so you keep that in mind.

Woof, that's a long time. Ok, thank you for the heads up.

It's been a month now and neither of my projects have shown up when searched. I noticed if I search myself now I do pop up but it says I have 0 projects.

After so much time, they probably got stuck in the queue. I gave them a bump.

Oh wow, thank you so much! Both of my projects are popping up when searched now.
