 * hi,
 * the plugins search here on wordpress.org is crazy… everything you search returns
   dozens of plugins that has nothing to do with what youre looking for. Whats the
   matter?

 * I agree. I searched for “Sidebar Login” – a plugin that actually exists and it
   did not appear in the 46 pages of results.

 * I second that! It’s always the same high rated plugins on top. If I for example
   search for “TinyMCE Advanced” which is the EXAKT name of the plugin, it shows
   up as nr 8. And I should be LUCKY to even get my result on the first page. It
   makes me curious how that query is written. A Google search for “TinyMCE Advanced”
   gives a nr 1 hit. Please redesign the search function!

 * I completely agree, I’m new to WordPress and a bit frustrated that entering the
   exact name of a plugin (Inline Posts) brings up loads of irrelevant plugins. 
   Searching on Google for the plugin seems to give better results.
