When people search for my App by name it doesn't show up.  The app shows fine for me, but when having others test it, it won't show for anyone else.

I've the same issue here with:

You can download and install it but you cannot find it by the search box. I've tried with "uab", "campus virtual uab checker", "campus virtual"... but nothing is shown.

Hey folks,

Earlier this week, we made a small change to the way apps are listed on the home page and the category pages of the Chrome Web Store.  In order to make the apps shown to users relevant and useful, we now hide installed applications.  Since making this update, we’ve seen a measurable increase in the rate that users are installing applications.

Installed applications are still listed in the Popular and Trending views, and will show up in search if a user searches for the application by name.

Thanks,
PEte

im having the same issue as the others, you say that it should still show up in search, if you have the app installed, but it doesnt

if i try and search for my app "f.b. purity" using the keyword "purity"
the app doesnt show up, it used to do, so it seems the app search is broken

Seriously? You mean even we post a link they will not get to the same page? Oh man, who are actually the genius behind this 'innovation' ? Now I only see 10+ download per day, oh man...
