We've got a couple of [app]s out there for various iProducts:

But searching for "Stack Overflow" or "Stack Exchange" only finds StackUp (of the above) in the AppStore*. This is, suboptimal, to say the least.

All three AppStore pages mention one of those search terms, which begs the question as to why they aren't all returned in a search?

What steps could these developers take to resolve this?


To be clear, while we've implied this in the past...

It's 100% OK to use the Stack Overflow, Stack Exchange, and related names as keywords (or similar) when publicizing [app]s

You just can't imply that the [app]s are official, first-party, or similar.
