The search engine no longer shows profiles and if your only game is not indexed it is normal that it does not show anything.

I recommend you read this first:

Some tips, your first paid game usually takes longer to be reviewed, your game is only 5 days old since the update and today is the weekend, the people who review only work during the week. Most likely the game will be reviewed during the next week, I recommend waiting a little longer.

The payment processor's fee is around 0.50 USD + 3%. If you sell your game for one dollar, you will lose almost all the profits in that fee.
It is usually recommended a price of no less than 2 USD

Thank you very much for your answer, but shouldn't my projects appear when they search my profile name?

From the tests I've seen, only indexed games appear.
When your game will be finally indexed, if you search for your profile name, then the game will appear.

I am very grateful for your answers, have a nice day. 

The search feature was changed a few months back. Earlier you could search for a profile name and it would show that profile with a counter of how many published projects it had. So it would show the profile and 0, if you had an unindexed project.

Now you can no longer search profiles, but you can search projects by profile name and display name of the profile. I believe searching for the display name was not possible earlier. 

Yes, you are right, and as hechelion said, I think my projects are not indexed when I search my profile name because my projects are not reviewed.
