As you can see, the very highly rated EF Core Power Tools is not listed in the second targeted search.

Could it be due to amd46 AND arm64 support - I have no idea, but something is broken!

Hi @ErikEJ ,

Thank you for reaching out to the VS Marketplace Team and providing the details. We will review and get back to you with an update accordingly.

Hi @ErikEJ, We had an identical query that we are tracking here #547.

@Neelima10735584 It is NOT identical, this concerns the search results, not the front page. Currently both front page and search results are broken, sadly. I really wish you could just fix these issues, it discourages my enthusiasm for creating great extensions if this is how badly promoted they are here...

Even this search fails to list EF Core Power Tools:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/search?term=erikej&target=VS&category=All%20categories&cost=free&vsVersion=vs2022&sortBy=Relevance

Where this one does list it:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/search?term=erikej&target=VS&category=All%20categories&cost=free&vsVersion=&sortBy=Relevance

Looks like it is excluded from VS 2022 category for whatever reason - 😢

[ErikEJ]

@madskristensen FYI

[madskristensen]

Yikes, your extension disappears from the list when you filter search results to only show "VS 2022".

@ErikEJ There is a bug in VS Marketplace web site which I believe is preventing the VS 2022 filter to not show if the min version is not 17.0. I understand it is possible to work around by setting the min version to 17.0 if at all that is an option in this case. May be not, but JFYI

    <InstallationTarget Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Community" Version="[17.5,18.0)">
      <ProductArchitecture>amd64</ProductArchitecture>
    </InstallationTarget>

@seaniyer Thanks for the update, that is an "interesting" bug. I will re-publish with a 17.0 target, and live with the hopefully small support burden until you fix this bug - hopefully not years from now! Now, if only you could also fix #547 😉 (reported 1.5 years ago)

[ErikEJ]

@madhurivadaligithub Is the bug fix already out??

[ErikEJ]

@madhurivadaligithub So I can bump up to 17.5 again and search will work as expected?

[madhurivadaligithub]

Thanks for updating the version, could you please let us know, after version update, are you still facing the issues?

[ErikEJ]

@madhurivadaligithub Not sure what you mean? Do you suggest I can try to bump to 17.5 again?

[madhurivadaligithub]

@ErikEJ We would like to check if the workaround shared by Sean is helping you?

[ErikEJ]

Yes, the workaround works, as you can see on the site. But it does not seem like a proper fix as my extension really does not work in 17.4 or older.
