Composer finds a package by search but not by require

Question

I added new package at packagist.org karu/simple-js-localization.

When I run composer search with my package name, I can find it

but when I run composer required the package is not there.

Shell script that I run.

composer search karu/simple-js-localization

composer require karu/simple-js-localization

Why does this happen? what's the difference between search and require in this regard?

PS: I checked packagist twitter no update on any issue. Waited more than 3 hours.

Composer found your package, it just couldn't find a compatible minimum stability version — Salim Djerbouh, Oct 01 '19 at 05:35

@CaddyDZ The issue still persists. I getting the same error. https://imgur.com/lzDNkdW — Karunais13, Oct 01 '19 at 06:35
I think the issue due to composer latest update [issue-link](https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/8347) — Karunais13, Oct 01 '19 at 11:14
Create a new empty folder somewhere else and require the package, you'll see that it works, there's no issue with composer — Salim Djerbouh, Oct 01 '19 at 13:28
Maybe a cache issue ? Did you try `composer clearcache && composer require karu/simple-js-localization` ? — β.εηοιτ.βε, Oct 01 '19 at 20:57
