I don't think the short title of the app matters at all. Comments David A is correct. The app store search checks the long title and the keywords you set up.

Scroll down to the ‘Packaging’ group > Product Name Double click it and enter the new name. Build and run and the name has changed. 2)Change The Displayed Name Changing the displayed name of the app (for instance if the full app name is too long to fit under the icon) Open ApName_prefix.plist Change the ‘Bundle Display Name’ entry. The default is ‘${PRODUCT_NAME}’, overwrite this with the shorter name to be displayed. I think you only need the 2nd step.
