Tags are not working to find my game

Detailed Description of the Problem When searching for my game that I just posted, I used a keyword that I tagged to my game. I was unable to find it that way. Steps to Reproduce the Problem I posted a new game, You're It! and I tagged a few keywords to help people find it a bit easier. D20 Modern Pathfinder Year:2016 Zombies Zombie Horror Modern Modern_Day I then decided to search for my game under "Find a Group" just to make sure it worked as I hoped. I typed in one of my key tag words "Zombies" and made sure that I checked off "Show Games with Mature Content(18+)" and clicked search. There were only three games that popped up with this tag, none were mine. I tried refreshing my browser, had my husband log in and try to search for it, no luck on his end.&nbsp; Though we found if we search for&nbsp;the name of the game "You're It!"&nbsp; So I am not sure if my tags were applied or if there is somewhere else that I need to "tag" my game. Any help would be very much appreciated! I included pictures as well, below.&nbsp; Description of Your Setup (Browser + Version, Operating System, etc.) (A good place to get that info if you don't know it: <a href="http://supportdetails.com/" rel="nofollow">http://supportdetails.com/</a> ) Operating System: Macintosh OS X 10.11.6 Browser and Version: Google Chrome 53.0.2785.116 I turned off all extensions, just incase the ones I did have installed conflicted with Roll20 on my Google Chrome. List of Extensions that I had enabled on Google Chrome: 1. AdBlock 3.2.1 2. Adblock Plus 1.12.2 3. All Recipes 1.2 4. Facebook for Chrome 7 5. Google Docs 0.9 6. Google Docs Offline 1.4 7. Google Mail Checker 4.4.0 8. Lightshot (screenshot tool) 6.1.7 9. NEnhancer 3.5.5 (Netflix tool) 3.5.5 10. Pinterest Save Button 1.4.0 11. Poper Blocker 3.7 12. Privacy Palette 0.4 13. Task Timer 3.10.6 14. TinEye Reverse Image Search 1.1.5 I also cleared my cache on Google Chrome. 1. The Keywords that I have tagged to my You're It! game. 2. Searching for my game by using one of my tagged keywords, "Zombies." I also checked of "Show games with Mature Content(18+)" 3. When I searched for "Zombies" I was only able to find these three games, none of which are mine.&nbsp; 4. I searched for the name of the game, "You're It!" that is how I was able to find it.
Hi, Emily M. My Tags exist to help organize your My Games page. They do not affect the LFG Tool search. To increase the visibility of your LFG Listing, I recommend adding those words to its description. I hope this helps!
Oh, thank you! That helps a lot!
Okay, so one more question. I did what your recommended, I added those keywords into my description, but still it doesn't work when I search for Zombies. Does it take some time for it to recognize (I don't know if that is the right word). Thanks for helping a noob. Emily M.

It takes about 2hrs for any game listing to propogate through the servers and that includes any edits, usually.
Oh, okay. Thanks. I will be patient.&nbsp; Emily M.
Sorry to annoy you guys again, but I was patient this time. For some reason, even though I have the words Zombies, Zombie and Horror in my game description, when I search for it - my game isn't under that search. Did I do something wrong?&nbsp; I am attaching a&nbsp; link to the game. Thanks everyone! Emily M.

We can't see that link. It says "Not Authorized." Be sure to link to the game's LFG page, not the game itself.
Here you go, thanks Rabulias. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/1662269/youre-it" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/1662269/youre-it</a>

I think this is the link Rabulias meant: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/57909/youre-it" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/57909/youre-it</a>

FWIW, I can't see why you're game is not returned with a "zombie" keyword search. The only game that is so returned doesn't seem to be substantially different in setup.
Oh, that link. Thanks Keithcurtis and for also looking into it! Yeah, not too sure why it isn't showing up, but maybe it needs 24 hours from the last change?&nbsp;

Yes. Each edit takes roughly a day to propagate through the server I think.&nbsp;
Thanks Franky. I will be patient.
