The reason D is not as "searchable" as C or C++ is because D is a
small community. It has absolutely nothing to do with the name.
But if D had a name like Brainfuck, it would be even more easily
searchable than C or C++, regardless of the size of it's community.
What exactly are the searching problems you have with D?
As one simple example, try searching for "D http client library". None
of the hits have anything to do with D. It may not be a huge problem,
but I think small things like this will contribute to people deciding
that it's too hard to get help on things and just give up on the
language instead. I don't really think the language can afford those
losses.
You'll also notice that it occasionally matches on words that end in 'd,
like you'd, we'd, etc...
C and C++ do not share that problem.
