Plugin search not finding the Dungeon crawl

I created a search plugin called "Dungeon Crawl Wiki". When I search for "crawl" on mycroft it doesn't show up, but it does come up when I search for "crawl wiki" and "dungeon". Why is this? I suspect anyone searching for it would most likely just search for "crawl" first (since that is how the game is most commonly referred to) and then give up when it doesn't show up. This seems to be odd behaviour for the search if it is deliberate.
Would changing the plugin name to "Crawl Wiki" give the desired behaviour?

In the pocket

Results are often cached after search terms have been used and in this case, "crawl" was last updated with results from 22 July.
In which case, you would need to initially search via the Advanced Search page and check to "Skip Cache?"

Soon enough the cache will update and Dungeon Crawl will appear in the results for "crawl".
[ed. choosing skip cache also updates the cache immediately]
