Google play search algorithm

Im a new android app developer and I just published my first app 3 days ago.

When I search for my app with one more of the words that are in the title (of the app) I can bearly find my app in the list!

yes, I searched for this allot over the internet and i sew in other places people talking about the search algorithm decides by downloads, rating and +1s. i have the best rating, allot of reviews, okay amount of downloads and I see apps with no downloads, no rating, small description, show up above me in the list.

so my question is: am i missing something here?, why is my app so low in the list?, does the search update every week or so?

I'm not 100% sure but for my apps, once they gained traction and had a history of steady downloads they bumped up the search listings.  If your app has only been around for a short time it will get bigger and better over time.  If you already have good download rates it will be up there at the top in no time.

The first 30 days are critical, try to get as many good ratings as possible, and promote your app everywhere you can.
