Constant Content

I recently wrote an article in answer to a public request, and it was accepted. I can view it under "My Content", but when I do a search and type in the main keyword, my article is not shown in the list with others. Can someone explain to me why this is? Thanks a bunch!

An article submitted for a public or private request is not visible to the public until 3 or 4 days after it is approved. This gives the requester first chance at purchasing the article. If the requester doesn't purchase it, the article will go into the public pool after the 3-4 day time period.

Thank you so much. I just needed someone to clear the fog around my brain ! I already knew this, but after a long week with some rather unfortunate occurrences, I thought it had been much longer since my article was accepted.
