Both stores run their own search, so the two positions are unrelated. Lower is better, and a position in bold is on the first screen a searcher sees. The line is the last 30 days, rising as the position improves.

Words in your name
Of the listing fields, Marketplace positions have followed the display name most closely. Where few other extensions use a phrase at all, a tag has been enough on its own.
3 of 12 searches fully in “Kilo Code: AI Coding Agent, Copilot, and Autocomplete”
Edit the name to see which of your tracked searches it would stop or start carrying, before you publish it.
On 13 September 2026, across 221 Marketplace searches, 88% of first-screen positions had every search word in the display name, against 28% past position 300; tag and description matches were flat. Word order did not matter. That is an observed pattern, not a promise of a position. “Few” means at most 5 other listings carry every word anywhere in their name, tags or description. Open VSX results mostly move when the registry reindexes, so the advice follows the Marketplace name.
Where competitors win
Searches a pinned competitor ranks for and you do not appear in at all. The store never matched your listing to these words, so adding the term to your tags or description comes before chasing a position.

The stores disagree
Same words, same extension, very different placement. Each store runs its own search over its own catalog, so neither one can show you this.
Marketplace positions are the median of three samples taken minutes apart, because identical searches come back in a different order each time. A change smaller than that shuffle is left grey rather than called a gain. Open VSX orders results consistently and is read once.
