While a lot of people still do look for Glest, for example because they have it available in their Linux distribution, or because they read about it on another website. you're probably right about way more people looking for generic terms. And we (MegaGlest) still have a long way to go there. Here's some positions for such searches:

Being a new GAE & MG user (about 4 days now I think, but I've lost track due to game time!) I just Googled "freeware strategy game" and spent hours hunting through websites for something decent and playable. I ended up at Sourceforge and the Glest Wiki, then discovered the two main forks and tried both.

My Google search was "Open source games". I was looking for games to translate for the Gaelic speaking community, since we're still scarece of computer games in our language. I have a German language operating system and that's what Google latches onto insted of my browser locale, hence the link to German language content from an English language search

Their download is for Glest 3.2.2 and I did a bit of playing and translated it. Then I found that the technology trees couldn't be translated and came here looking for info. So now I've started work on all three branches
