Actually, those just a simple search criteria by me. I original put C, C++, Java, Ruby,.... C is extremely high, then I realized C was also an English letter. I added programmer to make the search more specific. Then C dropped down from C++. You can search whatever key word combination you like. I believe the indeed.com's searching criteria are simplely from job posts from Internet, that is all. It reflects more of past and current job market, not future ones...
