Mac App Store - Search Results for My App Going to Wrong Tab

I recently released a macOS native version of an app. Previously, the iPadOS version of the app was available via the Mac App Store as Designed for iPad. The macOS version of the app requires macOS 15+

The listing appears correct when I open the actual app in the Mac App Store, however my issue is that when I search for the name of my app, the Mac App Store (on 15/Sequoia) always defaults the results tab to "iPhone & iPad Apps" where my app is no longer found. I can switch to the "Mac Apps" tab and see my app, but it's confusing if I direct people to the Mac App Store manually.

Is there a setting in App Store Connect I'm missing? Is this possibly a bug I should submit via Feedback Assistant?

Thanks for any help.

Just in case anyone else runs into this and finds this post, search results are now going to the correct tab automatically. Not sure if someone magically happened to see my post and updated anything in the Mac App Store, or if it just took a while to update. Search results started going to the right tab automatically about 2 weeks after the initial release of my app.
