I am not sure you should put too much confidence in the "pwned password" search.
I know one of the weak password I stupidly reuse everywhere was compromised since I had someone buy something with my paypal account. But it comes up as clean in the password search. So it was probably cracked from one of the leaked hashes but the plain text was never entered into the public dumps.
