Indeed.
And if you check your profile and click to ‘’see all sounds by (your username)’’, the sounds you’ve added after September 18th don’t appear too.
Probably because of the same issue I suppose.

Wishing you all the best !

Hi friends,

Unfortunately, it looks like the problem has reappeared.
Sounds uploaded later than October 3rd aren’t found by the search engine.

Wishing you all the best !

Hi!

Sometimes the search engine gets stuck while updating and does not get fixed until we manually restart it. We have to implement ways so that happens automatically. Your reports do work smile

Hi Frederic,
Well, sorry, I’m afraid you’d have to restart the search engine once more, as the last sounds found have been posted on October 11th...

Wishing you all the best !
