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 would appreciate your feedback on this matter.

We cannot provide direct responses like you're looking for here, this is not a support ticket system, it's a bug reporting platform.

    initial v2  
    11Hi Team,
    22
    3 We have noticed an unusual behavior on the wp.org search. It is displaying
    4 unrelated plugins and also prioritizes inactive plugins over active ones.
    5 [If you try performing this
    6 search](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/product+bundle/) "Search for
    7 product bundle", you will notice that the [Ovic Product
    8 Bundle](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ovic-product-bundle/), which is an
    9 inactive plugin with a poor description, appears second on the list, which
    10 is quite strange. On the other hand, the active plugin, [Product Bundle
    11 Builder for WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-product-
    12 bundles-for-woocommerce/), which has a better description, is not given
    13 the same priority.

    15 Furthermore, in some cases, we have observed that unrelated plugins are
    16 ranked higher than the relevant ones. For instance, there was a plugin
    17 that remained in the second position on the list for a while, despite
    18 being unrelated. You can perform [this
    19 search](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/discount/) "search for
    20 discount", [this plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/paid-memberships-
    21 pro/) was on the second of the list for a while!
