App search doesn't work

I used retool as a self-host type before and I am migrating to the cloud.
After exporting the existing app to json, I imported the json file in the cloud environment and migrated the app.
I imported the app to the root subfolder, but the app is not searched.
The app created with the create app function in the same folder is searched.
Is it a bug? Or do I need to set something additional? Please let me know.

Hi @songhui.baek,
Can you try one of the following and see what happens:

  • Rename and save the app: Click Edit App β†’ Click on the app’s name β†’ temporarily change the app name slightly (e.g., add a space or suffix). Save the app.
  • Move Between Folders. Move the app temporarily to a different folder: Right-click app β†’ Move to... β†’ select a different folder. After moving, immediately move it back to the original folder.

I tried both of the methods you suggested, but the app search is not working as before.

Let's see if someone form the Retool Team can chime in. @Darren @Tess Ideas?

Hi @songhui.baek,

That is odd that the app is not showing up when you search for it by name.

Can you share a screenshot of the app in the app directory and a screenshot of the name typed into the search? I tested this out with an app I imported from JSON and I can see the app :thinking:

This only happens in Korean. :cry:
root> '[팜λͺ¨λ‹] 팜λͺ¨λ‹ 컀리큘럼' folder> 'μŠ€ν¬λž˜μ΄ν•‘ HTML 보기' app. It's an app imported as json.
root> search> If I search for 'μŠ€ν¬λž˜μ΄ν•‘', it won't be found.
root> search> If I search for 'HTML', it will be found.


Ah I see, apologies for that.

I can make a bug report and let the team know! Hopefully we can get that sorted quickly. I will update this thread with any news I hear back on this ticket.
