You are using a flawed tool to check if you are shadow banned. I looked up at several prominent accounts including ElonMusk using this site and the site claimed everyone is shadow banned.

Maybe flawed but in this case the search ban is real

Multiple tools show the same thing for me, but what prompted me to check in the first place was an unexplained drop in engagement recently. Still, since the entire shadow banning process is nontransparent and there are no official tools to check, it is impossible to know for certain what is going on. What I do know is that Twitter is run in a very poor way and I'm not going to help them monetize the platform unless their policies totally change in terms of censorship as well as transparency when it comes to amplification and suppression of content.

BTW, I just checked Elon on ShadowBird and he's all green (no shadow ban).

Yea, Elon is all green now. And even your account result looks different now. :) I definitely wouldnтАЩt trust ShadowBird site.
