I wasn't able to reproduce this.  I created a new library and a new addon and was able to add the library to the addon after a few minutes.   I just want note that it takes a few minutes for new libraries and addons to be included in search.  Also make sure that you update the libraries version to something other than 'initial'.  We filter those out by default.

I created new library and new addon both in public.
Changed library version from 'initial' to '1.0'
Waited over 10 minutes.

But still addon editor could not find my own public library.

I tested 2 other PCs which worked Add-on Builder perfectly before.
But these PCs also have same problem.

Can you give me any way to figure it out?

In my quick hack.

Library search api returns null array.

https://builder.addons.mozilla.org/autocomplete/library/?q=backy&limit=20

Name of my own test public library include keyword 'backy'.
So, I think, search api or backend database have problem.

Do your libraries show up in the public search?   For example, here's my library that I created while I was investigating this ticket.  https://builder.addons.mozilla.org/search/?q=arron

No. public search said:

Library Results (0)
No results were found for the term "backy".

Thanks backy for all the info.  I just tried to create a new library and this time it's not working.  I'm going to try to reproduce this locally and get back to you.

Thanks arron,

It is the real trouble shoot from here. ;-)

and I think Bug No. 766809 is possibly also related.

Backy, What version label did you give your library?

my original account:
  public library version is 1.0

my test account:
 public library version is 0.1
 public addon versoin is 0.1

Can you try incrementing your library version and saving it again. It should show up in search and the auto-completer after that.  

I just created a patch that will go out in our next release that will fix this issue.

I tried your request, but still 'not found' occurred.

Hi, arron.

It seems "search public addon and library" is working, now.
Did you fix it?
Could you tell me what went wrong?

Comment 14

[Piotr Zalewa [:zalun]]

Is it resolved then?

I'm not sure.

It seems "search public addon and library" is working.

Arron said "will go out in our next release that will fix this issue".
But, I couldn't confirm version number and release date of addon builder.
Is there any indication of version number and release date?

[Arron Schaar [:arron]]

Yes, I created a patch that fixes this issue, however I'm not sure if the code is on live yet.  I confirmed that it works on dev.

How do I know when code is on live?

[Jeff Griffiths (:canuckistani) (:⚡︎)]

I'm still seeing this problem today, discussed with Arron in IRC and still looking for a solution. Feels like something is 'stuck'?

Comment 19

[backy0175]

Seems to not working again for new library(both public and private).
What is going on?

I posted Bug 792332 "addon builder - weird search results" today.
I believe this bug and Bug 792332 have relations.
