How come my app doesn't show up on app store or iTunes searches? [closed]

Question

Three hours ago I received an email regarding my free app that it is "ready for sale". When I go into my iTunes Connect, there is a link to "View in App Store". When I click this link, it appears fine (it shows in iTunes), however when I manually search it in iTunes or app store, nothing appears (finds nothing). Is there a certain wait time for it to appear or did I do something wrong? Thanks.

It takes time for the meta data to propagate through.

There is no "fixed" time for this. As long as it has been set to "Ready for Sale" and that you have selected the country for availability as you want, rest assured, be patient, it will show.

Congrats, by the way.
