Description (last modified by )
Hi Team,
We have noticed an unusual behavior on the wp.org search. It is displaying unrelated plugins and also prioritizes inactive plugins over active ones.
If you try performing this search "Search for product bundle", you will notice that the Ovic Product Bundle, which is an inactive plugin with a poor description, appears second on the list, which is quite strange. On the other hand, the active plugin, Product Bundle Builder for WooCommerce, which has a better description, is not given the same priority.
Furthermore, in some cases, we have observed that unrelated plugins are ranked higher than the relevant ones. For instance, there was a plugin that remained in the second position on the list for a while, despite being unrelated. You can perform this search "search for discount", this plugin was on the second of the list for a while!
We would appreciate your feedback on this matter.
Thank you.
This is likely a duplicate of one of the many existing search-related tickets, which I'm just going to link here for now: #2686, #3338, #4404, #4405, #5082, #5231, and many more.
We cannot provide direct responses like you're looking for here, this is not a support ticket system, it's a bug reporting platform.
