That would be silent ban (if you're not getting informend that you are, or reason for it), or just plain ban. Shadow ban is explicity "pretend to user they are not banned, but don't show it to everyone else" Like say getting shadow banned on reddit or HN, you will see your stuff when you're logged in, but anonymous or other people wont. Search equivalent would be you getting your own site when you're searching but nobody else does
