My browser / operating system: IPad iOS 10.3.1, Safari 10.0, No Flash version detected
Every time I search up my studio Mega Game Arcade it won't come up with it, but it comes up with other studios with similar names instead. Why is the search bar doing this? I don't know, so please fix this bug.
When replying please give a detailed and accurate way of fixing the bug or you would have just been no help and would have wasted space as I'd like to keep this on three pages.

How long ago did you create the studio?
I ask because it may take some time for the servers to update, and make it able to be searched. This may take a few days.

Not everything will be your way, and depending on the bug it may be more than three pages. Just saying, please don't kill me

That is off topic and I'd like you to not post anything unrelated to this bug.

The servers haven't updated. That's the only probable explanation.

This isn't too much of a glitch, unless irrelevant studios are listed. It's the same with every search engine, in example if you look up Scratch on Google, it would show up this website, but also possibly "cats scratching" would also show up.

If your studio itself is not showing up, it may be rated NFE (I'm not too sure if that applies to studios though) or it may be simply too new.

If it's been a while and you're sure it's not NFE, using specific search terms, then it should be in fact a glitch.

NFE does apply to some studios (AE/IE studios are marked NFE) but an easy way to check involves inspect element: look for
<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />
in the code (should be in the “<head>”) and you'll know it's NFE.

EDIT: I just tried searching for the studio and it worked. Bug/glitch gone!

I think some projects and studios are not shown if the following is found:

Rated NFE(not for everyone),
Is newly created
or
Is a glitch.

Newly created projects and studios are not there because the search system has not been updated.
I will temporarily close the topic until we experience the glitch again.
