Help, Why can't I find my Project when i search for it?

I go to the main Scratch site and type in my Scratch project's name exactly, but it does not show up... it says it can't find it. How do I fix this? I know i can just go to my stuff to get to my project, but i need to be able to find it by searching. Help?

Re: Help, Why can't I find my Project when i search for it?

if you add tags on your project then maybe you could find it better. Or it might take a while for your project to load on the website (i mean on the database, not your account)
Hope it helps!  big_smile

Well no, because it was working a few days ago, but now it isn't. Also, I have tags that are the same as the title which is what I'm searching for.

Re: Help, Why can't I find my Project when i search for it?

I know this problem! It happened to me 2007. Maybe these suggestions will work:
•You uploaded it to the wrong account
•Something is blocking it from showing
•Wait a little longer

If those aren't right, try these:
-Reupload it
-Reupload it with a new title
-Reupload with a change
-Wait a little longer
-Check your other accounts (test, finished, etc.)

If all else fails, use the Contact Us http://scratch.mit.edu/contact/us link at the bottom of every scratch page.

also, maybe something's happening and it's showing everything but that (happens to me all the time, sometimes i'll search something and everything BUT that will show up, even if i typed the name exactly right)

Looks like it's working now...I just tried it and your project popped right up.  Maybe they were rebuilding the search indices or something.

No, that is my other project that I re-uploaded. The proper one still isnt working, but it was working a few days ago, as i said.
