What conditions cause games from showing up on LB?

So duplicate names is a classic way to block things, but this one confuses me: when searching Oblivion for Windows, only GOTY shows up. Didn't figure out any way to  go around it. Ideas? Also, any other known problems?

If your game is linked to a SteamID then only results that are linked to a SteamID on the GamesDB will show up. Looks like the first link has no SteamID, which is why you don't see it on the list.

If you went and temporarily removed the application path from your game, then ran your title matching search, you'd see more results.

Genious, thanks! Makes sense and I understand why it's been done that way.
