? VST3 not being listed in search

[sadicus]

This vst3 file is installed and displayed in the plugin manager, yen will not list when searched.
What are some things to try?

Not sure what you are saying because in the screenshot it is showing? 
Are you meaning the version that doesn’t say 64 bit?  The one at the top might be a 32 bit or VST 2 version.  If you select the option to only show VST3 versions when available then what you are seeing is correct.

There might be a clue in the name of the plug-in. ?

 jokes are great, but don't quit your day job just yet...
I f you actually look at the Cakewalk VST Search it's only showing one "Evade" and it's not VST3.
The image clearly shows VST3 is indeed installed, yet Cakewalk search does not list it.

Here I have Photoshoped the image to show what it should look like:

yes, i've re-installed of coarse but never seen this happen before. Did this a few times. and the plugin (vst3) never shows up.
going to try it from a new download of the install file.

If you look closely, you will see that the Evade is in fact a VST3. The secret is in the logo in front of the name. One has a 3 in it. The other looks like a single pole electric socket plugin. Look at the logo in front of your plugins and your photoshop. None of mine have a VST3 or a (64bit) on them. Only the tiny logo is different.

You can double-click any plugin in the plugin manager and name it whatever you want. A plugin installer can also name the plugin what ever it wants to on installation.
