Comment (by sslzen):

 How about case #2? It doesn't follow the rules laid out in the algorithm.
 What am I missing?

 Case 2: WP LetsEncrypt – ONE CLICK single / wildcard Free SSL certificate
 & force HTTPS
 The plugin is ranked #4 for SSL versus my plugin which is ranked #6
 The plugin has 1,000+ active installs compared to SSL Zen's 10,000 active
 installs
 The plugin has a rating of 4.5 compared to SSL Zen's 4.8 rating
 The plugin has 11/13 support issues resolved, compared to SSL Zen's 3/3
 support issues resolved


 ----


 The description for all those plugins contain the word "SSL". The entire
 readme is included in searches, not just "Title, Slug, Excerpt or tags".

 The code says that if a plugin title and tag match the search term, it's
 prioritized over other plugins, that doesn't seem to be the case in W3
 Total Cache.


 {{{
 array(
 'multi_match' => array(
 'query'  => $args['query'],
 'fields' => $boost_title_fields,
 'type'   => 'best_fields',
 'boost'  => 2,
 }}}
