Hi Kim,

Your app has been set to English (United States), so if your user has the location set to Belgium, and default language to Dutch or French they will not automatically find it. Note I do realize you might not live in Belgium but apply the same concept to your country/language.

Solutions:

- support more languages in your app (note you can use "en" to support English, without having to use full "en-US" for United States specifically). See above how to support more than one language.

- have the user add English via Control panel > Language > add English

Hope that helps,

Katrien

It depends on the language(s) your app supports, I can look into it if you can let me know the name of your app.

What is the guideline regarding getting your app to show in the store search results?

My application does not show unless the users deselect the "Help me find localized apps" option in the Windows Store settings. And the funny thing is, that no search results are presented.
