New and Improved [Word­Press] Plu­g­ins Direc­tory Search — I’ve been search­ing the WP plu­g­ins direc­tory a lot lately, and I do appre­ci­ate this improve­ment, but that said, can we have some basic func­tion­al­ity, too? Maybe an indi­ca­tion of the sort order of the results? Is it by Author mid­dle ini­tial? Or, per­haps even the abil­ity to sort the results our­selves, by, I don’t know, pop­u­lar­ity? Num­ber of down­loads? Name? Word­Press ver­sion com­pat­i­bil­ity? Upload date? Any­thing? Let me put it this way, plu­gin search (and frankly, any search on WordPress.org), is so abysmally hor­ri­ble that this one improve­ment hardly makes it worth­while. Baby steps, I guess.

      TOTALLY agree. It’s con­found­ing that a group that gets so much right gets some­thing as fun­da­men­tal as search results so, so wrong.
