2.0.9 Headless Server doesn't post on matching server

[thepatrickcrab]

[EDIT: Solved, user error in searching]

I've been hosting a server since the DLC release without issue. Today after the 2.0.9 release I downloaded the 2.0.9 server and tried to get it going. The server runs fine locally, but no longer is available on the Matching Server. This is despite the server logs indicating that a Matching Server game was created.

I've double checked my server-settings.json authentication is correct (even invalidated token and switched to a new one). I've double checked that I have port forwarding properly setup on the machine hosting the server, although I think it works with this. I'm stumped as to why this isn't working. I'll paste a log here. If anyone has ideas on what else I can try please share.

but no longer is available on the Matching Server.

Describe precisely how you determined that.

[thepatrickcrab]

I didn't know for certain that it isn't on the matching server as I was unaware of any search function within it. I used filters of "yes password", "no players", "no mods" (same filters as yesterday which worked when nobody was on the server as is the case currently). This reduces the number of servers to around 20 which our server was showing up in for the last two days.

I'm now able to find the server with search, or if I change my "no mods" filter to "any". I assume this has to do with the space-age/quality/elevated-rails "mods", but I'm unsure why the filtering behavior changed for the searches that my friends and I were doing (neither of us were able to find the server today until just now with the search in top right).

Problem solved for me, but I'm curious if "Has mods" should match a "yes" filter for a game that only has base 2.0.9, elevated-rails 2.0.9, quality 2.0.9, space-age 2.0.9.

A bit more info on that, we purchased Space Age DLC immediately and this save has been a Space Age save with quality and elevated rails the whole time. I'm also confident that we were successfully filtering it with "Has mods: No" on Monday and Tuesday
