How can I install my Eclipse plug-in from the Eclipse Marketplace?

We've set up an update site for our plug-in called CodingSpectator and we've added it to Eclipse Marketplace to make it even easier to install our plug-in (See http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/codingspectator/). But, we are unable to find CodingSpectator in the listings at Help -> Eclipse Marketplace... on Eclipse Helios SR2.

Why isn't it possible to find CodingSpectator at Help -> Eclipse Marketplace...?

Quoted from the Marketplace Client Content Inclusion Policy 1:

Solutions listed in the MPC Wizard will only be those that are 1) licensed under an open source license or 2) associated with an Eclipse Foundation member company (excluding Associate Members).

So if your plugin is open source, you can set the license type to the appropriate open-source license.

The search in the marketplace client is not the best - it does not always find plug-ins on their full name. However, when writing Coding as a search term, I could select the result as the first one provided in the "Further result" option.

Update: in 2011, when writing this post, I had some issues finding our plug-ins in the Marketplace, even with precisely writing their names. Today (10th Oct, 2016), I could not reproduce the exact behaviour. I don't know whether the issue was fixed by updating the search, or the indexes require some time to be updated with new(ish) plug-ins.
