My Map won't show up on search!What do I do?

[Chameleon]

hi everybody my map when i search it up will not show up in the search bar does anyone know what to do?

[AMineRide]

From my experience, I don’t think your maps will appear if you search them up.

[Leo_1]

I don’t think you can search for your own games because either 1.) Its not published or 2.) You can access it from the other creative tab and not the explore tab which opens up at 4:00PM so I hope this helps!

(Unless they have updated the creative part again)

Just wait a few hours for it to get on the page and it has to be popular for it to show up or have certain keywords that other games don’t have

It could be because if it is published, it’s your own game, so you can play it without going to discover. So it thinks you don’t need to see it, only other people can

There is a couple days of publish delay.
You can still share the links around though.

[whos.f3rsi0n]

Try putting your game name in the description of your game. The search bar usually searches things by the game’s description.

Yep, the search engine is weird

Also, please search before u post (not u fersion)

Reasons Why Your Game Won't Show Up In Discovery

We get a lot of post on the forum asking why their game won’t show up in Discovery. Well there are a few reasons why that may be. So I made this much needed guide with the help of others to help inform you on a few reasons why you can’t find your game. Publishing Reasons Have numbers in the description Has Cuss Words Has the following words in the game/description/title: Join, Code, Live Not searching part of the Description Has live code in the game or game description Has a copyrighted Thu…

Shouldn’t this be in Bugs?

[Epi320]

Well, it is actually not a bug.

It is kind of a question, and I think it fits better in help.

Bugs are for errors, but this (at least I don’t think so)
is not a error

[DUSTYWATERMELON]

trying restarting or reset

[Epi320]

This actually does not do anything due to it being a GIMKIT side issue

Also, if one of the responses above suites you, mark as solution

[DUSTYWATERMELON]

@Jeffo

We have a few systems in place to prevent malicious behavior in Creative Discovery.

The most common reason a Map doesn’t show up after publishing is because the name and/or description has a word or words on our blocked words list.

Also, we now delay Maps showing up in Discovery after they’re published. We do this to prevent specific malicious and potentially harmful behaviors we were seeing, including live game sharing.

We won’t be disclosing how long published Maps take to show up, but in general, if you publish a Map that complies with our community guidelines, it will be live in Discovery. You just need to be a little patient.

[Chameleon]
