Mods not showing when searched ?

Hi,

I have a few gameplay mod projects up, and I've tagged them with the tags that others use that I'd expect people to search. When I search those same tags, my projects don't appear in the results, not under Most Recent, not under Popular, not under any of the other tabs on the search page.

The projects are public and the tags are set on them, so I'd expect them to turn up at least under Most Recent. Is there something about tagging or project setup I've missed, or is there a delay or approval step before a project starts showing in tag search?

Thanks.

Two separate things are happening here, and one of them you can fix today.

Tag shelves are scoped to the project type. Your mods link out to /game-mods/tag-farming-simulator-25, which holds 1,706 results. Your new tool links to /tools/tag-farming-simulator-25, which holds 7. Same tag, different shelf. Anyone browsing the mods section won't see the tool, however it is tagged.

Three of the tags on that tool return nothing at all in the tools section. farmsim, farmsimtools and fs are all zero results, so they're spending three of your ten slots on empty shelves.

The second thing isn't tagging. I checked Seasonal Calving, published 10 August, and it doesn't come back on a full title search either, with no defect on the page itself. That one is the indexing queue, and a support ticket is the only route to it.
