High Project ID's Will Not Show Up on 'Explore' Page

[C0d1nGandCaTs]

Expected Behavior

Any project that has been shared since about February 2024 should be able to be searched up on the explore page.

Actual Behavior

Now that project ID's have gotten so high, the indexer is unable to index every project in a day before restarting back at zero the next day, leaving thousands of projects unindexed. This means that these projects, which have ID's of about 970 000 000 or higher, are never able to show up on trending or the explore. This makes in unfair to newer scratchers who are hoping to get on trending, as their newer projects are forever unable to because of their higher ID. As project ID's are now over over 1.1 Billion, this means that over 130,000,000 projects are being affected by this issue!!! As someone who recently got back into scratch last week, this issue is very important to me.
