Clip Not Showing Up In Keyword Search

My first uploaded clip has been approved, but when I do a search for it, it doesn't show up anywhere. It's an animation of cat eyes blinking. The only way the clip shows up is if I type in the clip ID - 3284193. Well, unfortunately, nobody searches that way. So why is my clip not showing up in the keyword search?

I searched the pond with the words EYE CAT BLINK and the clip was found. No problem at all. Welcome to the pond.

Keep in mind that once a clip or clips get approved, they still need to be completely loaded in the database and indexed (behind the scene process) - this may take several minutes to happen, and in some cases up to a day for all the counters to be updated etc.. This is just how databases and indexing (re-indexing) work.

Hi guys

Vader's right - We used to be able to index clips immediately on approval, but with the volume of media running through the site there's a bit of a lag now. We're hoping to be back to instant indexing soon.
