#6088: Plugin search: Bad results for localized searches

 It seems like somehow (Jetpack updates?) localized search results have
 worsened. Take the search term ''woocommerce'' as an example:

 Default search: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/woocommerce/
 German search: https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/search/woocommerce/

 The german search does not even show the core WooCommerce plugin as a
 first result. Furthermore non-localized plugins (e.g. WooCommerce Amazon
 Pay) are listed way before more relevant results (better ratings,
 translated).

 Did anyone experience the same issues with plugin search (affects the
 plugin search API as well)?
