Summary:
Minecraft.net search suggestions by category do not work, they return zero results when clicked.

Affects currently Live Content:
Yes

Impact:

Causes severe discoverability problems where products can not be found.

Repro Steps:

  1. Open the Minecraft.net Marketplace page.
  2. Search for something, let's search for "Security".
  3. Observe that the list of suggestions is recommending multiple category types, like "<Search Term> in <Category>". For example: "Security++ Add-On in Add-ons".
  4. Click on "SECURITY++ Add-on in Add-ons" result.
  5. Observe that the page displays the following error message: "Your search brought no results.", even though there is an Add-On called "SECURITY++ Add-On".

Observed Results:
On mobile, it isn't possible to click on a recommended search result by category. It produces no results. Clicking on this suggestion seems toΒ literally search for "SECURITY++ AddOn in Add-ons", which is not what should happen. Since "SECURITY++ Add-On" doesn't appear further down the list without this category suffix, it makes it impossible to find the SECURITY++ Add-On directly with search.

  • 🐞 Bonus bug: "Add-on" should be "Add-On" (uppercase O), per the official stylization rules for Add-Ons.

Expected Results:
The search should yield a result. In this case, it should show the SECURITY++ Add-On by 57Digital: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/marketplace/pdp?id=5ee6e4f8-7db7-43a3-bc87-853c7907c8efΒ
