Plugin Search: Translated search not working

[eugeneernoult]

Plugin searches in translated languages (other than English) look broken.

Examples:

• Searching for formulaire (form in French)​https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/search/formulaire/ doesn’t bring up any of the major form plugins
• Searching for mehrsprachig (multilingual in German) ​https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/search/mehrsprachig/ only returns 1 result (unrelated to multilingual)
• Same for traduction (translate in French) ​https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/search/traduction/: None of the major translation plugins are indexed

How is Elasticsearch handling translated readme files?

Translated plugin readme content is indexed for ElasticSearch when at least 40% of the content has been translated: https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/plugin-directory/class-plugin-directory.php#L1067

It looks like many of the plugins you're expecting to see have incomplete French translations. For example ​https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/fr/default/wp-plugins/translatepress-multilingual/ is at 39% (just below the threshold). ​https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/fr/default/wp-plugins/gtranslate/ is at 0% for its readme. Once those are at 40%+ they should be indexed and appear in the results for those search terms.

Hey @tellyworth, thank you for that info, I didn't know about that 40% minimum.

We've updated the readme of our plugin and translated in several locales to be able to be over the 40% threshold like in French for example: ​https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/fr/default/wp-plugins/weglot/

But our plugin still doesn't appear to be indexed on relevant keywords:
​https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/search/traduction/ ("traduction" is mentioned 19 times in our readme)
​https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/search/multilingue/ ("multingue" is mentioned 26 times in our readme)

Any idea why?

Thank you

This appears fixed now, likely via #1496
