Hi @chergav could you please check whether your extension’s visibility is set to “Hidden”? If so, it will not appear in store search results. Please ensure the visibility is set to “Public” so that it can be discovered when searched by name.
If the visibility is already set to Public, I will follow up with the relevant team to investigate further. Please confirm from your end so we can proceed accordingly.

For steps to verify and update the visibility, please refer to the documentation below:

Public. The setting has never been changed.
Installs has been reduced to zero since May 5, 2026.

@chergav OK, thanks for the confirmation, I have shared this issue with the respective team and will update once they have an update to share regarding this issue,

Hi @chergav could you please republish a new version of your extension from Partner Center? Please keep the same CRX ID and just bump the version in manifest.json, a fresh submission should refresh our index and bring search visibility back.

Thanks, I'll try.
