Investigation summary

Recently published Rift/PCVR apps are not appearing in Meta Horizon desktop app store search results, despite having live, publicly accessible Product Detail Pages. This issue affects apps published around late 2024, while older Rift titles from 2022 are searchable normally. The problem seems to be correlated with the publication date rather than metadata configuration. Notably, recently published PCVR Product Detail Pages (PDPs) use a `/pcvr/`-scoped canonical URL path, whereas older Rift listings use the unified `/experiences/` path. This suggests that recent Rift SKUs may exist in a legacy index that the desktop client's search does not query, causing the apps to not appear in their assigned store categories or in search results, even with exact title searches or keyword variants.
