[Bug - Edge Addons] Extension Can Only be Accessed via Link but not Store Search

[kellydxy0307-cell]

Describe the bug
My Edge add-on BiliDoc, received an email showing a successful publish at May 18 2026, yet a user has been reported that this add-on could not be found with extension search home (link: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/Microsoft-Edge-Extensions-Home). I am confused why this happen. I am wondering if anyone can at least successfully visit this add-on via the link?

To Reproduce

Hi @kellydxy0307-cell I’m also unable to retrieve your extension when searching by its name on the store. I have forwarded this issue to the appropriate team for investigation and resolution, and I will update you here once I receive any updates from them.

Hi @kellydxy0307-cell, 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:
