Description

Empty plugin searches (see ​https://wordpress.org/plugins/?s=) return a partially broken template. Specifically, the <title> and the primary heading of the page both omit the missing {{searchTerm}} variable.

In line with SEO and usability best practices, empty searches should execute a 301 redirect to ​https://wordpress.org/plugins/
