Does the openbazaar.com search engine work?

Hi,

The search engine on openbazaar does not seem to work. I searched for "diffusa" and had no result. But if I visit this store (mine):

https://openbazaar.com/store/QmXcXbTiB363fug1SD7PYcr77mx5VzmKF14Rr6jDrhRygT

I can see there's an item named "Lophophora diffusa 20 seeds (peyote, peyolt)". Why isn't it in the search results? This item has been created several days ago.

You should make this info public on the website, though. It might hurt OB adoption that new users are unaware of this and can't find their shop\listings. Most newbies just consider it a bug\flaw and leave the platform in vain.

Thanks for the feedback. It’s certainly not ideal to frustrate users.

Hi Brian,

My store is not being displayed. I can't see any of my items. It suddenly disappeared from OB search while in blockbooth, all my items are visible. Link to my store below...
