Foundry Searchability

thefyfe

My partner and I have both posted foundry missions on separate accounts a few days ago. Our quests are only able to be found when searching by the 'short name'. Even using the author query does not bring any results.

Is this common? How long, on average, does it take for quests to become searchable? My partner's quest has remained unchanged and his was the first to be published. I have updated and republished mine a few times and I'm in the same boat.

I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this anywhere.

Supposedly according to another forum post. Newly submitted mission go into a queue until review and then get transferred to the 'new' section. During the review time they are not searchable.

I see. Thank you very much for the information, foundrymaker. I'm going to assume since the game is now in open beta this 'review group' is probably quite busy.

Best thing you can do is post in the forum or website the unique foundry generated name, people can enter this to try you mission.

Huh - this is the first I've heard of this.

The last I heard is there is a big Foundry search bug that is currently being worked on. All Foundry works should be searchable by all criteria - regardless if it's been play a million times or never.

For the time-being, using the short code is fine. But for now consider it the bug that it is. When the bug is quashed the search system should work as you expect it to. Even for non-reviewed quests.
