Some packages not showing up when searching by name #326

I recently submitted my first package and it's also missing from the search index. It showed up for a couple hours, but I haven't been able to search it since the day I submitted it.

I don't know if it helps, but I, too am suffering from this problem with asciimatics. This only has a modest number of downloads, but they have all stopped in the last 48 hours. Direct links still work, but a search returns nothing. Uploading a newer version today seems to have had no effect.

My package is suffering from the same problem. I also noticed when I download the package it doesn't increase the number of downloads. Also, many popular packages have 0 downloads for last day, even the packages that show up in search results.

My package is listed under "Your packages" when I login, and I can pip install it, but it is not found when searching on the website or through pip.

Original comment by MusiKernel Team (Bitbucket: j3ffhubb, GitHub: j3ffhubb):

My package (simplecf) has the same problem others have mentioned. I think the package meta-data such as keywords, etc... may have been modified during the pypi database migration, but manually adding various keywords still doesn't cause it to show up in pypi or pip searches for any of the keywords or package name.

Original comment by MusiKernel Team (Bitbucket: j3ffhubb, GitHub: j3ffhubb):

I did some more digging around, and discovered that something may be amiss with the "hide versions" functionality. I unchecked the "auto-hide old versions" checkbox and proceeded to make various changes to which version of simplecf are visible, and the changes I make do not persist, or when the page refreshes they are some seemingly random combination of "yes|no" other than what I had specified. None of the changes I made caused any combination of releases to become visible in pip/pypi searches.

Original comment by Jonathan Lee (Bitbucket: jon--lee, GitHub: jon--lee):

I'm facing the same issue with my package. In fact in the last few days someone added a package with a similar name. Now when you search 'neuralpy' it instantly directs to 'neural-python,' which is not my package.
It's weird because my other package appears normally in searches.

The problem is partially fixed since yesterday, searching now works, but it shows 1.0.2 as the latest version instead of 1.1.0 (both versions were supposed to be visible). I tried to manually hide 1.0.2 and the settings reverted back to "Hide":"No" for both 1.1.0 and 1.0.2 after the page refreshed.

Original comment by Alessandro Molina (Bitbucket: amol, GitHub: Unknown):

Not totally sure this got solved, it looks to me that when searching by name some packages appear multiple times and some list even releases that do not exist.

See: https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=tgapp-calendarevents&submit=search

tgapp-calendarevents appears 3 times and if you click on "tgapp-calendarevents 0.1.6" it leads to a 404 as that release actually doesn't exist.

Original comment by Joe Smith (Bitbucket: CuppaJoe, GitHub: CuppaJoe):

Yes, searching is still broken and the issue needs to be re-opened. Searching for setuptools returns only versions up to 19.6.2. But clicking on that version and manually editing the URL to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/20.2.2 shows an actual later version.

Also, for each package search results should be sorted with latest version first instead of appearing in random order - in this case 19.1.1, 19.1, 19.4.1, 19.6.2, 19.6.1, 19.2, 19.4, 19.3, 19.5, 19.0, 18.7, 19.6, 18.8, 18.5, 18.8.1, ...

I was wondering why my tdubs package wasn't showing up via search and assumed at the time it was because it was new.

I am still having the same trouble, has been the case for at least weeks, but probably even months.
Keyword search doesn't show my packages Transcrypt (only very old versions are shown, but the results shown are dead links) and Numscrypt (not shown at all).
Direct link and pip install both work.

This bug is not resolved, my packages with the keyword "oasys" are still non visibile with a search (only a huge list of deleted old versions are visible). Even if I do a direct search with the package name the result is inconsistent. Please fix it, this is a SEVERE problem, compromising the usability of my pip-based self-upgrading application!

Dear Anatoly, Even if I understand how huge is the contribution of all the developers of Pypi and Python, I don't catch the link with the fact that there is a bug! In my case, I signalled this bug several months ago, and, as I can see, it is still not fixed, and severly compromizing the usability of Pypi. I think it is in the interest of the developers to signal malfunctions, not an emtpy criticism to hard-working people.

I have the same problem, with thLib: it shows up under "Your packages". But when I try under under "search Package Index", only old, broken links show up.
(OK, I really did screw up by breaking those links in the first place. But the point is that the current, working links are NOT found!)

On a related note, is PyPI dead (from an active-development perspective)?

ewdurbin · 2016-05-03T13:44:33Z

Original comment by Stefano Miccoli (Bitbucket: miccoli, GitHub: miccoli):

PyPI search is thoroughly broken: both web search and pip search return old, outdated, inconsistent results for a lot of packages. E.g.:

#!bash

$ pip search pyownet
pyownet (0.9.0)  - Python OWFS client library (owserver protocol)
  INSTALLED: 0.10.0
  LATEST:    0.9.0

Fortunately pip install installs latest version (0.10.0), but PyPI search is convinced that latest version is 0.9.0: maybe search DB is not updated correctly?

Please re-open. Thanks.

My package is searchable by pypi or pip3

I created a package, named furigana . This package page can be browsed by a user not logined to pypi. However, if I search "furigana" in the homepage of pypi, it can not find my package "furigana".
I also used pip3 search to search it, and it find nothing.
