Game not appearing in search

I entered a game jam a week ago and my game is not appearing in the search bar on Itch.io's main page. I've looked up other games and they all appear to be generating results just fine. It's my first game that I've uploaded and I know that it takes some time for admin's to review it since it's a paid game, but I've only found that that should take 36 hours at most and it's been one full week as of writing this.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen, if it's related to the game being involved in a jam, and if there is any way to resolve it.

Well, you don't seem to have a creator profile either. That happens to some people for unclear reasons, and it's usually related. Check the Search & Browse FAQ for other possible reasons why the game doesn't appear. It's in the jam submissions at least, though hard to find because there are so many of them.

Thanks. I’ll check that out.
