Comment:

 I think I'm going to close this ticket, as there's not much we can really
 do here.

 Closed plugins should NOT show in search results, at least, not
 intentionally.

 The only reason one would, as mentioned in slack, is when the
 ElasticSearch index is out-of-date with the wp_posts table, which may
 happen as Jetpack Sync is not always 100% bugfree in my experience. It's
 usually automatically corrected in the regular data comparison progess
 though.

 While we could add extra filtering on the WordPress.org side, validating
 that the post id's that Jetpack is saying matches the query actually
 matches the query, it seems like that's removing most of the point of
 relying upon it.
