(Get the code!)
This could be resolved by changing the indicator applet's description.
Right now it is "An indicator of something that needs your attention on the desktop"
Not sure what an appropriate new string would be, but if it has key words like "sound," "volume" and "battery" it would at least appear via the search function.
However, I think it's really important to point out that this has already been the case; notification area has a very vague description: "Area where notification icons appear." There is no reasonable way someone can get from there to recognizing that volume control, network status and battery status appear there.
This, then, brings us to another issue: why is the problem only being observed now when we've had it forever? Why are people needing to re-add this panel applet?
SilverWave, could I ask how you came to not have the applet?
(My babbling here ultimately drifts into bug #519553).
