First, and most importantly, a hearty thanks to all the module developers for so generously sharing their brilliance and cleverness, and to the maintainers for helping to keep the gifts alive. The Drupal community rocks.
Based on comments from other posters and my own experience, I respectfully request of module developers:
1. Module Names: Give your modules unique names, if the subject is a very broad general term -- one that would pull unrelated search results.
Rather than "Slideshow", perhaps "The Greatest Slideshow on Earth" or "Rock the Vote" rather than just "Vote". Humor aside, perhaps just add at least a second, descriptive word to help in searching via quoted terms: "Embedded Slideshow", "Animated Slideshow", etc. Adding the file download name in your taxonomy for the module in order to narrow a module search would be helpful, too. (I will often download a module that I'd like to use at a future date, but on future date don't recall the exact module name. Would be great to be able to go straight to the project page by searching the module filename.)
2. Dependencies: It is very helpful when you list and link to all dependencies, on/from your project page, so that all the necessary files can be downloaded/uploaded at the time of installation. As opposed to installing a module only then to discover you need a support module.
