Hmmm... well, if I search by the product ID (the long number at the end of the URL) both products show up. I'm not entirely sure what that means, but it does indicate that they are findable through search, though not easily findable. I can't find them by searching for the exact title of either.
It's been my experience that new products get a "bump" in the marketplace in terms of visibility. I'm guessing that maybe Zazzle's algorithm favors new products but only for a short period of time? That's a guess on my part. Anyhow, if that's the case, it could explain why they have disappeared. Both of those are fairly "generic" designs - I don't mean that as a criticism, they're both nice designs - I just mean that there are a LOT of similar products in the marketplace so perhaps without the "new product bump" they don't make it into the search results?
My only other thought is store rank. I think you have to have a store rank of 4 or higher to show up in the marketplace. I'm not sure where I got that, but I have a vague memory of that being the case. Maybe that has something to do with it?
Hopefully someone from Zazzle will look into it and reach out to you. I am curious what the answer is though. If it's not a technical problem, it would be useful info to have in terms of how marketplace searching works.
