^If you only just uploaded an image, its likely not to have been registered yet. Search-engines take a while to index every website, and an image based search engine even longer as it has to download a large amout per image (over a million bits, as opposed to a 50-60's bits per word). ^
On topic: I agree with everything you say there. I think newgrounds is an excellant site, but as you say, needs some improvements :).
