 * It’s the first hit on google for your plugin name and wordpress and the second
   hit for just the plugin name. The word press plugin search is sort of tetchy.
   I wouldn’t worry too much.

 * ok, but i don’t know why i can’t find it if i search from my WordPress plugin
   menu. I have tried to search it by tags successfully, but it’s impossible to 
   search it by my name or terms.
 * Do you know why?

 * No, really. It does.
