Swap “embed” and “gallery” for “albums” and “photos”
“embed” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “albums” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “photos” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
