Comment (by gibrown):

 @lukecavanagh I think that is a separate issue from this ticket. This
 change shouldn't (and doesn't appear to) have any impact on this
 particular search. Maybe we should open a new ticket for this and any
 other cases discovered in the short term? I think with the launch of the
 directory there will be a number of other cases like this.

 Looking at Formidible Forms in particular, I am pretty sure part of the
 reason it is ranking lower is because it has zero resolved support
 threads. Most of the plugins above it have similar or higher ratings, but
 substantially more support threads resolved. It's a very competitive
 landscape so it's tough to be sure without looking at it in more depth
 than I can right now. I agree that it looks a little funny/surprising.
