Hi @grayedog!
That’s a curious situation you describe.
My initial suspicion is that somehow the place has “moved” far from where it should be, and enough that its calculated centre is now far enough away that the place results list filters it out as not appropriate.
The place “moving” like that can happen if one or more visits are incorrectly assigned to it and confirmed. Like if some visit 10 kilometres away is assigned and confirmed, the place then updates and its centre moves far off where it should be, to accommodate that incorrect visit.
This actually sounds quite similar to the situation in this thread: Private place no longer shows up in search
So the things to try that I mention in there will be relevant here too.
And yeah, agree, making a new place to work around this would feel like giving in. The appropriate thing to do is figure out why it’s happening and getting it fixed, whether that means fixing some incorrect assignments or hunting out a new bug in the app.
