Tool, a week after update, does not show up in search at all - update uploads do not differ from prior updates, what happened?

I have read the provided FAQ articles about indexing, yet the tool i worked on, https://cntrpl.itch.io/voidsprite, as a contributor, has vanished from search (unless its on google or directly through cntrpl’s itch.io account) after i pushed an emergency fix/update to a bug. Is it marked for review? What happened? It bas heavily impacted our viewership on itch.io, sadly. I believe the project should be indexed as I habe closely followed the guidelines while uploading the new files if itch.io has detected my emergency fix update as “spam”, then that would be erroneous.

EDIT - Replaced “Game” with “Tool”. oops. typo.

An update can temporarily delist an item. Basically the same, as if uploading a new project. So most likely it is in the manual review queue.

There is a sticky thread on top of this section about such things. tl;dr: please wait.
