npm: Search results are missing packages for some authors
Timeline of updates
- resolved
The ranking process in the search indexing of packages will exclude some low-quality packages from the search index. It is expected that not all packages for a specific author will be indexed in the search process and package counts can differ from the npm registry and the search results.
From npm’s published incident history: for incidents before Rewindex began polling this status page, only the final update text is available.
Archive proof
Rewindex commits each version of an incident it captures to a daily checkpoint, chains it to the day before, and has the checkpoint timestamped by FreeTSA and DigiCert.
How the archive is checked, and what it cannot prove.
This incident predates live tracking (October 17, 2026). It came from the vendor’s own published history, which is not covered by checkpoints.
Impact, status and times are the vendor’s own, as last archived. View on status.npmjs.org (opens in new tab).
