[Bug - Edge Addons] Extension not searchable by name and configured keywords

[qiihao]

Translate by deepseek:

Describe the bug
My published Edge extension "放纵的开播提示" (English name: LiveHub) is not showing up in store search under several conditions:

• Searching the exact Chinese display name "放纵的开播提示" returns no results.
• Searching any of the configured search terms ("开播", "助手", "通知", "关注", etc.) also returns no results.
• Searching the English name "LiveHub" does find the extension, but it is ranked at the very bottom of the results list.

The extension is published and active in Partner Center. I have received no email notification and there are no policy violations, suspension notices, or flags in the dashboard.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons'
2. Type '放纵的开播提示' into the search box and press Enter. Notice the extension does not appear.
3. Clear the search and type one of the configured keywords, e.g. '开播'. See that the extension still does not appear.
4. Repeat with other configured keywords such as '助手', '通知', '关注' – no results.
5. Finally, search for 'LiveHub'. Observe that the extension appears only at the very end of the result list.

Expected behavior

• Searching the Chinese display name "放纵的开播提示" should return the extension.
• Searching any of the configured search terms ("开播", "助手", "通知", "关注") should return the extension.
• Searching the English name "LiveHub" should show the extension in a reasonable position (ideally near the top, given it is an exact name match).

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: [e.g. Windows 10]
• Browser: Microsoft Edge
• Version: [e.g. 150.0.4078.65]

Additional context

• Extension name in Partner Center: 放纵的开播提示 (LiveHub)
• Extension ID: laljjbcchlkbkjghpjofbjpnbbhppoed
• Configured search terms in Partner Center: 开播, 助手, 通知, 关注 (among others)
• Approximate date when issue started: [e.g. late July 2026]
• Region tested: [e.g. China, United States]

There are absolutely no alerts or warnings in Partner Center. The extension appears fully published. This seems to be a search indexing or keyword mapping failure for the Chinese language fields. Could you please investigate and help restore normal discoverability?

Hi QiHao (@qiihao), I can see that when searching using the Chinese name of the extension, it does not appear in the Edge Add-ons Store results. I have shared this issue with the relevant team for further investigation and will provide an update as soon as I receive one.

However, when searching using the English name of the same extension, it appears correctly at the top of the search results, as shown in the screenshot below. Could you please check and confirm from your side as well? Thank you.

Rahul-Bauri Thank you for your response and for sharing this with the team.

I’ve done some further testing on my end:
When I set the browser language to English and searched for "LiveHub" (the English name), my extension appeared at the top of the results.
When the browser language was set to Chinese, the same search for "LiveHub" placed my extension at the very bottom of the results.
In addition, searching by the Chinese display name yields no results at all, regardless of the browser language setting.

These two issues might stem from a similar underlying cause. I hope this clarification helps.

Thank you again for your assistance. I’ll wait for any further updates from the team.

Hi QiHao (@qiihao) The extension is now appearing correctly in the search results when searched using its Chinese display name. Please verify this on your end as well.

As the issue appears to be resolved, I will be closing this case. If you continue to experience any problems, please feel free to open a new support request. Thank you.
