[The Files page](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/iotaa/files) shows that version 0.7.5 of this package is available, but it is not found by conda search:

```plaintext
% conda search -c conda-forge --override-channels iotaa
Loading channels: done
# Name Version Build Channel             
iotaa 0.7.2 pyhd8ed1ab_0 conda-forge         
iotaa 0.7.3 pyhd8ed1ab_0 conda-forge         
iotaa 0.7.4 pyhd8ed1ab_0 conda-forge         

```

Any idea what might be happening here? For what it’s worth, at the time that this conda-forge package was being built/deployed, I personally experienced some timeouts interacting with [anaconda.org](http://anaconda.org), both via the conda CLI and via web browser. Perhaps something interfered with the new package being correctly indexed?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

For whatever reason, the package is now searchable:

```plaintext
% conda search -c conda-forge --override-channels iotaa
Loading channels: done
# Name Version Build Channel             
iotaa 0.7.2 pyhd8ed1ab_0 conda-forge         
iotaa 0.7.3 pyhd8ed1ab_0 conda-forge         
iotaa 0.7.4 pyhd8ed1ab_0 conda-forge         
iotaa 0.7.5 pyhd8ed1ab_0 conda-forge                

```

If someone intervened – thank you!
