The full version of your game isn't indexed. And I don't know if bundles are included in the search.

Thanks for your reply, No Time To Play!

What does one do to make sure one is indexed? E.g., https://itch.io/docs/creators/getting-indexed#publishing-vs-indexing/getting-ind... does not provide any information that is useful (we seem to follow all the baseline requirements).

In other words, what leads one of our pages to be indexed but not the other?

It's your first paid game, so checks probably took longer.

There is a help page that says to contact support it indexing takes more than 24 hours. More than three weeks now, so a message has been sent to support. Hopefully we will learn something from that.

That information is somewhat outdated. It takes longer than 24h even if the game isn't paid. But you're right, three weeks is a bit much. Just keep in mind that it's the weekend, so any reply will be delayed.

The game became indexed today: https://itch.io/search?q=pushle

Hooray...

Patience seems required for new developers, and we did not get any reply to our message to support yet. (So we do not know if there were any special reasons for why this process took several weeks.
