So sometimes, when you search for an app on the Play Store, it will give you a direct link to the relevant app instead of a search completion proposition (ie if you search for "Teams", the Microsoft Teams app will appear as a direct link).
How can I achieve this for my own app ?

I open https://play.google.com/ and make a search by keyword and see my app on 5 positions.
Then I open app Google Play on Android and make search by the same keyword and see my app in 10 positions.
It turns out that each has its own issue? How then do services like appfollow.com track position?
Positioning is based on a lot of factors, including your browsing history, location, language, cache and more... It is normal to have a shift in between web Play Store and app Play Store.
Web Play Store is more reactive, you will see changes more often and before the app (due to the cache system included in the app).
AppFollow uses the Google Play API, which is even wider in possibility when you give them access to your account (specially in ranking) and also some web scraping.

I have developed an App and published the same in google play store console. Even after many days the app is not getting listed in play store while searching using App Name.
I have tried searching using the project name. Its shows my app while searching.
It's normal. It need time, interactions and downloads to scale the list.
Don't worry
Please enlarge the image and the answer is there
My Application PackageName is com.mypackage.android
and my solution name is MyApplication
so when I search on "mypackage" from playstore then my app showing.
but how to change the Searchable name from Google Play Console?
If you want to give some alternate keywords to your app to boost up searching, you all need to do it from Google play console.
You can add keyword to your app Title.
You can add keywords to app description as well.
In setting of Google play console, in Developer name you can give keyword. It helps for searching app(not recommended)
To search app easily in play store use some unique or tough characters. Even good rating and more downloads can increase SEO.
To change app name- Select app in google play console-->Setting-->Title.
Hope it helps.
I have just published my app to Google Play Store but I couldn't seem to search for it in the store and it will only appear when I search by developer name. Every time I search by the name, other apps with similar name tend to appear and my app won't even appear at the bottom. Why wouldn't it even appear at the bottom and how can I make it show?
It can sometimes take a little while for Google's app search index to update, especially for new apps. Give it a few days, if it still doesn't appear contact Google Play developer support.
I want to put my app on google play store but not open to search. I just want to use play store link to give anyone I want. I don't want my app to be listed on any search on play store.
I think you can use the Alpha/Beta program: googleplay support
In general it works as following:
Create an App
Log into the Developer Console and upload an APK. No need to publish it yet.
Check out the ‘Beta’ tab now, which should show this handy message:
Using your developer account (it must be the primary google developer account), create a Google+ Community.
Add your Community to the list of testers by clicking “Manage list of testers” and pasting the Community’s url.
Click again on “Manage list of testers” and there you will find a URL to share with your Community.
