[spongie]

I was suprised when I have read that "was disappeared" actually means something.
Someone wrote that "sth was disappeared" means that "the authorities caused sth to disappear".

What is the difference between the following sentences? I know the first one is correct. Would you please explain the second one to me?

When I went there I found that the bag had disappeared. / b) When I went there I found that the bag was disappeared.

The second one is not correct. Don't try to use "disppeared" as an adjective or a passive sentence.

mukeshkbalsara, please give your posts more meaningful titles, such as The bag had/was disappeared.

'Grammar' is an unhelpful title, even when spelt correctly.

I have only heard that used for people- someone was disappeared. It's not a normal usage and is deliberately flouting the normal rules. It may have come in from Spanish as the people who went missing in some of the past regimes there were called Desaparecidos. A more standard term is forced/enforced disappearance.

When I went there I found that the bag had disappeared. :tick:

The only verb that could work in both ways as in your examples is go

When I got there I found that my bag had gone.
When I got there I found that my bag was gone (more colloquial and probably more used than had gone).
