App published but not appearing in the search results

[AndreiDutu]

Although my app was published and can be downloaded if somebody uses the direct link http://store.ovi.com/content/66448 the app doesn’t appear in Store searches.
Even if a search for the app title “Generator Variante Loto” it doesn’t appear.

What can or must i do in order for my app to apear in search results (relevant to it)?

I have the same problem.
The answer from PublishToOvi.Support@nokia.com was:

> I have advised our Development team about the problem with searching by name
> and I will be in touch as soon as I have any information.
> Thank you for your patience.

Sigh....I have the same problem. I wonder why it is so difficult for the Ovi team to make this work. This is a simple keyword-based search, not exactly rocket science.

I was told at one point that the search index sync will take a few days to update, so it might be fixed. But I'm wondering why this is so in the first place??

My app was published last week and I waited a couple days and still no results.
But from what I read here looks like that’s general problem with the Store.

I also emailed the support, probably I will get the same answers as vereal. :|

Same problem here, "published" 7 days ago
No response from PublishToOvi despite emailing them 7 days ago.

In my case they moved quite fast.

A couple of hours after I emailed them about my problem I got an answer
“Dear publisher,

I have escalated this issue to the R&D department to get further insight on
this matter. I apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Please stay tuned for the update.”

So probably they will also find a solution to the problem.

My app appears now in the search results. Looks like the OVI team moves quite quickly and found a solution to my problem

Thanks guys!

Yeah, mine too. All good.
Apparently it does take few days for the search-index to update.
