What Google Bot Sees, or doesn't see

    I have google sitemaps for my website and one of the reports that it shows is
    statistics>what googlebot sees

    In that category, I get a report showing 100 keywords that googlebot sees. What I cannot understand is that I am going for a two word phrase and neither of those two words show up in that report. I have that two word phrase in thousands of incoming links, I have it in the homepage title tag, the H2 tag, in the text, and other places.

    I actually rank ~125th for the phrase in google (out of 112,000,000) not that great I know, but better than it had been. The point is, that apparently googlebot KNOWS that my website is related to the particular 2 word phrase or it would not show up anywhere in the search results.

    So the question I have is why does googlebot not report "seeing" either of those words in the google sitemaps report?

    I can't help but wonder that if googlebot actually reported "seeing" those 2 words that I would rank higher than 125th for the keywords. Any ideas?
