Macupdate and Adium

I use this MacUpdate menubar item that tells me when new software updates and stuff is added in MacUpdate's database.
So today when I saw that Adium X 0.89.1 was out I thought I should get it. (I kind of hoped that it would fix the "crash-while-connecting-to-MSN-bug"). Then I went to Macupdate.com and searched for adiumx. Yes I know I could use adium or adium x. Anyway I thought I would get a list where I could choose Adium X, but that wasn't what happended at all...
Search for adiumx yourself or try this link:

Weird.
When I search for just plain Adium (no x), I get this:

We all do.
Same goes for Adium X (with space).

The real question is why adiumx (no space) doesn't work.

I'm curious as to why other clients hit on the 'adium' or 'adiumx' keywords. That's certainly... um, unique unless they specifically note it in the text for some reason [though that doesn't necessarily explain it all.]

it seems someone made the keyword "adiumx" be used for mercury.
they did that with poisoned and xfactor, if you search for xfactor, it would get poisoned instead.. this was a long time ago, dont know if its still the same.

It didn't before -- it just went to Mercury. I added adiumx to our keywords, so now it shows both Adium and Mercury. Pretty underhanded of whomever submitted the Mercury listing, really.

Ya, I guess we could do the same, but that would just be wrong.
Although, it could be based on comments.

Nope, I just checked Mercury's listing and they had included "adiumx adium x amsn" in their keywords. I took the liberty of updating their listing...

Maybe we should do that for all the other apps using adium where they shouldn't be?
