I have three projects on itch.io and only the people I show the links to can find them. If I search for it in the itch.io searchbar, nothing pops up, making the "add yours" link seem link an insult. I've been using this site for months and I can't help but wonder how many other great projects made by others that I personally can't see because they aren't popping up in search, either. I do not have anything set to where any of my projects should be hidden, so what's up?

My projects that can't be brought up in search:

https://knifedrawer.itch.io/robina-sprite

https://knifedrawer.itch.io/lil-puddin-pug

https://knifedrawer.itch.io/simple-handheld-like-s...

I had a similar problem with all of my games which just started happening. Not sure what's up with it.

im having this trouble too, but only on my second project, the first one shows up in the search just fine

I also get this. Set up project yesterday, configured as public, and haven't checked "Unlisted in search & browse". Still, the project doesn't appear in search results and, if you search my username, although I appear in the list of creators it says I have 0 projects. Pretty frustrating after spending a day debugging CORS issues to get the game to work properly when hosted in itch.io.

Specifically, the project that doesn't show up is this: https://arcadely.itch.io/star-citadel. It's an HTML5 game hosted in browser with assets uploaded as a ZIP.

You can search for it by exact name and nothing appears. Also doesn't appear in the list of recent games.

Any idea what's up?

Thanks,

Bart

Does the problems still persist or was it just solved over time ?

It does now show up in search results, although I'm not sure when it started working.

I uploaded my first game but it isn't available to download(even if I send a link to my friends). They can go to the page and they see the game but they can't download it. How can i solve this?
