Alex, thanks for pointing out all these facts.
We have to admit we put no effort in improving Smile's visibility.
The reason is that Smile is only for internal purposes - namely, Smile handles tenths of requests a second in order to serve Quomodo.com's clients.
If you want Smile, just remember it's made by Satimage-software: you should find satimage-software.com quite easily.
Thanks for saying I put a lot of work into it, actually it's not me, but thanks, and you're right, it's a good piece of software.
Now, if you want to stir the community up about Smile: you're very welcome!
All the best,
Emmanuel

As one of those guys who keeps hearing about Smile and probably has downloaded it multiple times in the last decade, whenever I try to search for it ala Google, it's really hard to find info for it, find the installer for it and find a tutorial for it that is understandable by those of us native English speakers.
