Comment (by mindmantra):
Recently I came across similar situation for https://wordpress.org/plugins
/debug-bar-super-globals/
I totally understand points made in ticket:3327#comment:5.
But it seems there is same weightage applied for ''normal keyword based''
and ''exact name'' searches. If a search can be determined as exact name
search then shouldn't be weightage tweaked to find if an exact match
should be ranked above all or not?
We could include additional criteria for this such as install base, review
average; or, to be stricter, installs & reviews in lets say last two major
releases?
This needs more thought though. This is an issue worth to look at.
