Hi. Did you read the rules in this section?

Before you create a topic asking why you can't find your game in Search or Browse READ THIS: https://itch.io/docs/creators/getting-indexed. If you still need to create a topic about it, then please write in your post that you read the docs and you still have a question, otherwise we'll close your topic. Then, tell us why you believe your pages should be indexed.

Then how about his issue?

I did not get result of my account's search while i log out, but it will display my account when i search it while i log in. I bet you could not find my profile account trough search bar also.

I make random search for some account name include your name, the behavior of the search give the result flawlessly by showing your profile name and others name when i searching at login or logout account. But it is not the case of my profile name search, i will only get result of my profile on search only when i login. If i not login then my profile is a ghost in this platform.

What it is about?

Your account appears to be marked as adult content and only appears if you search from an account that has the option to show adult content turned on.

That's why when searching without an account, your username does not appear in the search.


As far as I know, that happens if you upload a game with the tag adult or NSFW.

If you have never uploaded a game with adult content, I think the only solution would be to contact support.
