the real mystery of this great platform ... ( I really believe it is )

why  games are not searchable? why projects are not indexed? I don't need and I don't want to stay on top... I really don't care, being here we simply want to be searched in the flow of internauts curiosity.
if our students, friends, fans ( I have  132.6 millions users in giphy ) are searching the game and they don't find neither writing one word of the title and they find even the MISTAKEN words of other publishers that's  WEIRD.
  ... please stop listing  the flags that must be unflagged and the upload of the cover page... I did it I rererererchecked it and in my game there is nothing to kill and the character is just a walking mushroom talking with weird creatures.
the search engine seems  jammed, conked, bonked, drilled... find the word, it does not work. or there is something that should be better to be simply paid... it may be more easy than to squander our time bothering with this  obvious topic the kind Moderator of this amazing platform.
Best,

If you open a ticket Support will rudely blame you somehow, no idea why they can't figure out basic search on this site. 

let them blame ... we do stuff not to get rich, but to share cultures with people, if the people cannot find a word how to do that? the book by MIT make very clear the picture:  https://www.gameshub.com/news/features/the-videogame-industry-does-not-exist-bre... I donìt live illusions I am asking a search engine unbiased.

Hello Benny, I born in a town where Mafia was founded ... Imagine how much I am worried.

Your project is not indexed. That is all there is to it.

From what I understand about the process, new published and some updated projects go through an automated black box that says one of three things.

1. index

2. no index and manual review needed

3. no index

If you land in 2, either by random or things like payment issues or certain activities that might trigger manual review, there is a waiting time, that can be anything between hours and several weeks. And after manual review you could also have been sorted into 3 intentional, as is described here. I do not know if projects can land in 3 automatically, but I suspect it could happen, or at least, staff can "overlook" your project. Whatever that means. At least that is what the nice mod always says. If that were the real thing that happened, that would mean, that their internal task system is unreliable. But the mod is not staff, and it probably is just a phrase.

Yes, I am in your page... it's just a phrase and language is a virus from outer space ... cit. WS Burroughs.
