Some games not showing up on steam store

I went to search for Middle Earth Shadow of War, but it isn't showing up in the steam app. When I google it it shows up just fine though. Same thing with Mortal Kombat X and a few other games. I live in Ontario, Canada if this is relevant.

Depends on the game. I'm quite used to that as I'm in Germany, and Steam is a strong supporter of censorship and free will (of the publishers).

Maybe Shadow of War hasn't been released in Canada yet?

I though that too, but Mortal Kombat X which came out 2 years ago won't show up, are there some sort of family settings I'm not aware of?

Ok I found the preferences section, for some reason "show violent games" was unchecked

Literally a year later and I am having the same issue with a simple puzzle game which I can not imagine has violence at all. I couldn't find it anywhere in my client in the store, but when I searched with browser and found the Steam page there, I could open it in my client perfectly fine and buy it as well. Maybe same issue, maybe not, but it's very strange since I have no filters at all.(including preferences in my settings, which I checked)

I'm having this same issue. I was comparing prices between GOG and Steam (~17% cheaper on Steam every single time), and literally half the games (6 out of 12) didn't show up in the Steam search. I had to use Google to get to the store page so I could add the item to my cart.

I have the same problem but with Catherine Classic, cant find it in my Steam app but through googling it popped in the web steam store (i live in finland)

When I bump into a game, SKYRIM is the recent one I tried (I could never find by searching), I get this message THIS was through my app.

"Notice: At the request of the publisher, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is unlisted on the Steam store and will not appear in search." It's happened to other games as well.

So....this still isn't fixed...can't find Hallow Knight. HALLOW Knight. It was broadcasted to me via steam client before, and I thought I hallucinated that and almost missed the sale. Thx Valve.

Like JPMcMillen pointed out, correct spelling usually helps.
