Product sold day of 4/16/2023, and not in MP

My husband wanted me to make him this shirt, because he's really into lean manufacturing where he works.  Problem is, if I search for it in the MP, it's nowhere to be found, when I search for "Muda", which oddly should be right there.  If I searched for "Muda Matters" everything with "Matters" shows up.

Shouldn't all "sold" products be in the MP?  Or is that not the way of the Z anymore?  You would think from 4/16/23, that it would show up if it's been sold....or even under this odd, sorry, Japanese term Muda.  But no.  So, why isn't it showing up?  This doesn't seem fair.

Hi @LauraLee  Thank you for flagging this, 

These can take 2-4 weeks to become visible in the MP, dependent on volume. For this reason, we recommend that Creators use the 'Create Your Own' section to create individual products, rather than the Quick Create function. 

*Please note that product indexing has been slightly delayed due to volume.

Hi Lisa-B,   No, it wasn't a QC item, simply a one off.  (See my comments to CrazyMermaid above about it.)  But thanks for responding, I appreciate it.

Honestly I would make another one. I have noticed that once things go missing into the MP vortex, they often don't reappear. Then I make a close variation and voila, that one works. I gave that design, titles tags everything the once over and there is no reason for it not to show up. There are a surprising number of lean manufacturing t shirts. I never knew this was a thing!

FYI my new stuff is showing up really fast. It isn't take weeks to show up in the MP. So I don't think the QC comment was accurate. That isn't even a thing these days.

Well, this one has already sold of course.  My peaked interest is the part involving "Matters".  That was such a hot topic when the Black Lives Matter come about, and then the vortex happened to a lot of things that still sorta mattered....not sure of what's pc on all that to this day.  

I don't begrudge the Black Lives Matter issue, but do wonder IF that is the vortex issue - has it become a behind the curtain, so to speak, on what gets in the MP and what does not??  Because if I make another one - am I wasting my time.  And, so much for having a lean system in creating, eh?

The vortex is extremely rare, but when it strikes, it is the kiss of death. I do think some filter or some roque string affects it and it is so obtuse the engineers can't see it. I don't even bother reporting them any more. I just move on. If you do make another similiar one and the vortex strikes again, then you know it is specific to your content. I would experiment with tags and titles to figure it out. If you think it is a real money maker or to protect maritial bliss! I am beginning to feel like Dear Abby, so I will stop.

[CrazyMermaid]

How odd! It isn't showing up under any of the tags either. Did you use QC? I am not sure why Lisa brought that up - since it was my understanding it was not in use at this time. (Maybe she chose the wrong automatic answer.)

[LauraLee]

Thanks CrazyMermaid,  No, a one off thing for my dear husband.  I guess, though, QC does gum up the works, so they could be slow in indexing though.  I just thought it was odd too, since my husband is excited to sell it.  He's so into that lean manufacturing right now and all.  I was just checking it against any others like it in the MP, simply because it's not common in my book. Ha!

My apologies @LauraLee  I have flagged this with the Team for review. I can see it in your store, but like you mentioned it is not coming up on the MP. As soon as I have a reply I will let you know.
