Flickr public search problems

Having problems with Flickr finding my photos (not that there's many!!). A solution (so far) http://rcasjwa.blogspot.com/2008/04/flickr-public-search-problems.html indicates that need to click on "Flag this photo" bottom right , and make sure "Hide this photo from public search was unchecked". Search still not working, but sometimes engines take a while to catch up .. (here's hoping). Any better solutions?

Anyway the solution to my problem is a little embarrassing :( - Flickr requires at least 5 photos to be added before they become searchable ....

Celtx - Video pre-production software

Celtx is the world's first all-in-one media pre-production system. It replaces 'paper & binder' pre-production with a digital approach that's more complete, simpler to work with, and easier to share.

I think the basic part is free and there is a "studio" addin.
