 At the time of opening this ticket - July 19th 2021,
 Our plugin Search with Typesense http://wordpress.org/plugins/search-with-
 typesense/
 is being blocked for search engines.
 That is when you type "Search with Typesense"
 You will be shown "No information is available for this page" under the
 description of google search result - this is because the wordpress.org
 robots.txt is blocking all pages/urls with plugins/search

 https://wordpress.org/robots.txt

 Other pages/plugins suffering the same fate:
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/search/
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-exclude/
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-in-place/
 To name a few
