# Plugin directory help

 * This may sound like a simple question but I am hoping someone can help me learn
   how to find plugins. I found the link to the directory at [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/)
   But my problem is that often I will come across a plugin that I decided I may
   need or want later but I am looking for something else at that time. Since I 
   don’t have the time right then to download the plugin as I am usually involved
   in something else, I jot the name of the plugin down. But more times than not,
   when I do have to time to go back to it I go into this page and type the name
   of the plugin in (exactly like I first saw it) but the search does not find that
   plugin for me. It will give me many pages of sometimes unrelated plugins to fish
   through.
 * It just happened to me again today. At one time I saw a plugin named “Duplicate
   Content Control.” When I went back to get it today, I typed it into the search
   box but the search did not come up with that particular plugin.
 * Am I doing something wrong? Is there another way to find a specific plugin I 
   am looking for? Any help is much appreciated.

 * Why not just bookmark the page?

 * I never even thought to do that!! Thank you figaro for your reply.
 * Meanwhile, do you know if there is a way that I can find the ones that I saw 
   before? I am assuming the search field must not work for the name of the plugin
   since putting in the name doesn’t take me to the plugin.

 * I’ve always had better luck finding things using Google. Just use a logical search
   string and be sure to put wordpress and plugin in that string.
