I wrote an application named "Bio View", if I search for my application in Google Play, it does not show up, instead if I search BlueSkyBio (the "appname" variable from the manifest is named that way), i can find my app.

  <application
    android:icon="@drawable/logo"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:largeHeap="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

  <string name="app_name">BlueSkyBio</string>

My question is, how can i add tags to my application, like: bio, view, bioview, etc. So that I will be sure people can find it ?

FoamyGuy has answered on a comment for my question: you can put them in your description. But there is no real "tags" concept on the Android market. And furthermore the search algorithm is somewhat of a black box, it takes many things into consideration when picking the order of results which is why a search for your exact application name will not always result in your app being at the top (or even near the top) of the list of results. – FoamyGuy Apr 5 at 14:34
