I believe that the Google Code issue tracker may be a better forum for your problems: http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/list
If these issues have been filed already, please star them and supply additional information as to how to reproduce the issue. You should include the actual search terms used, and projects that you would expect to see listed. In the meantime, tone down the hostility. Flaming the people who run a free service really doesn't help your cause.
