Follow and My Feed no longer searching Sling?

I've just added some "follow" selections, and some notifications for when a video shows up to be added to "My Feed".

I've noticed that Sling is no longer included in searches.

I think this is a serious problem.  Is there some reason why Roku doesn't search Sling anymore?

AS far as I know, Roku can only provide search results for channels that furnish their information to Roku. Perhaps Sling has stopped doing that, purposefully or inadvertently.

I've had a chat session with Sling support. Unlike Roku, you can actually talk directly to a support person at Sling.

 

They say they have not made any changes, the fault must be with Roku.  Unfortunately, there is no way to get any real support directly from Roku.

Any suggestions on how to get someone (anyone) in Roku to take notice of this and possibly answer?

Alternatively, can anyone prove I'm wrong and that I'm just imagining that Sling was included in their program searches?  I'm certain "Search" used to find programs on Sling.
