My listings are not showing in Sedo search results

[atypical]

What the heck?

I have been trying to search for my domain names on sedo, and the only
way they are showing up at all is if I type them in exactly. For example, I
searched for domains containing "news" with .tv extension, did not see
newschannel.tv, newsline.tv or channelnews.tv, but did show results of
apparently everyone else's news.tv domain names. So I checked with "channel"
and .tv. The same. And "red" with .tv extension did not bring up
redcarpet.tv. And "bikini" did not show bikinishow.tv. It's not that they
are showing up low in the search results. They are not showing up at all!

This was not the case in the past, and I am very troubled by it.

I found them all in the sedo search results, with those searches. There seems to be no problem..

I think I figured it out. I was searching to exclude idns because I think they clutter results. When I uncheck that box, my domains show up. They're not IDN's!

IDN Domains are "Internationalized Domains Names", they make the use of special non-English characters possible (i.e. Umlauts like "ä", "ö" und "ü", other European Characters like "á", "é", "í"). These domains are subject to many temporary technical restrictions, for example users need an IDN compatible browser to visit them.

And that is a problem, because I'm sure I'm not the only one who excludes them in their searching.

I searched "news" with .tv extension including idns, got 146 results, including my own. "News" excluding idns gave me 140 results. 4 of the excluded "news" domain names are mine.

Searched with keyword "watch" and extension .tv When I included idns, my domain ewatch.tv showed up first in results. With the idns excluded, it didn't show up at all.

BTW, newschannel.org, which does not belong to me, was not showing up in my results with idns excluded either.

The same is true right now for most of my domains. I have a support request in to Sedo.
