App can't be found by the store's search function

Question

I recently published my first wp-app at dev.windows.com. Similarly to this post, Can't find my recently deployed windows app in the store , I can get to the app's store page via the link shown at my Dashboard, http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=d8ecb640-6493-4b38-b3d3-5206c8702503 , but not by using the store's search function. It doesn't even return my app if I just give it my app's name. The submission got accepted 5 days ago and the link above worked 4 days ago.

Edit: I talked to the dev support before posting, who didnt seem to be helpful. However earlier this morning i got a mail from the Windows Store Team, telling me, that they included it for search. Thanks for your answeres :)

Answer 1

I see your app in results from a search by the name.

There are many factors that can affect this though: what device you're searching on; the OS version of that device; the country your searching in (regional settings); and more.

Unfortunately there's also a long held criticism of the Windows store in that their search algorithm doesn't weight app name high enough such that a search by an apps name may lead to it not appearing on the first page of results.
