Hi, I’ve noticed that none of the games I publish on itch.io show up in search results, no matter what tags or descriptions I use. This happens with every project I upload. I’m wondering if my account might be restricted or flagged in some way?
Is there a way to check if my account is under any limitations, or if I need to do something to make my games searchable?
Thanks in advance for any help!
I’ve noticed “a while” can be six months or longer, and the difference between what’s indexed and what isn’t might have nothing to do with quality. (Along with the expected filtering, obviously low-effort and unusable stuff from new accounts appear while engaging art remains hidden.)
Another observation: no one seems to know why some pages and not others get indexed.
Maybe (hopefully) someone will prove me wrong on that last one.
I am very worried if my game get indexed soon? I wish so. I hope it will get indexed within 1-2 weeks. I made it by working over 3 months. (My old projects did not get indexed yet, guess the screenshots are missing from them)
Also have some personal problems if it takes too long time or never gets. But, I wish I could answer your questions.
