Indexing issue - Ticket #398932

Hi,

I am posting to request help with an indexing issue for my project and assets.

My game was initially visible, but it completely disappeared from the search index a few hours after launch. Additionally, my other uploaded assets have also been de-indexed/removed from search.

additionally, my other assets also disappeared from the index, but I didn't include it in the report because it's a newer issue

I’ve let our admins know about your ticket.

what's the approximate waiting time for something to get moving with this because I don't know if it makes sense to create anything right now?

I don’t know, it varies, and it does make sense to use you game page normally because it’s public, fully functional, and organic activity will help prioritize it for indexing.

thanks

It would be nice if something moved in my case :/ I already have things done in advance

One concrete thing that might help your ticket. I checked your Yuna page while logged out and its HTML has a robots tag set to noindex. I also checked eight pages that are missing from search right now, most from threads on this board, and only three have that tag. The other five are just waiting without it.

Since your page was visible first and then dropped out, that tag is worth quoting to support word for word, along with the fact that "Unlisted in search and browse" is off, if it is. It's a specific state they can look up instead of a general "not indexed".

Thanks CSAF,  the problem was mainly about the game and not those assets. Those assets disappeared earlier when I decided to change something in them because the ticket concerns the game that disappeared after a few hours and blocked my account for every new project, which is why I’m not publishing anything now, nor updating the old 'Fei'—only the thumbnails disappeared from the index after the change :/

so well, the problem is a bit bigger than just one game, generally I'm writing with a translator because I don't really know English

I already have two new assets done, they're still on draft because I can't publish them until I have this block removed (I mean, I can, but they'll be, well, private, so I'm waiting) Basically, I only care now about getting my post unblocked :/
