Comment (by dd32):

 In [changeset:"13749" 13749]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="13749"
 Plugin Directory: Search: Weight the english plugin title higher for
 localised searches.

 Most locales don't translate the WordPress.org readme.txt name field, and
 most don't alter the title at all.

 When a locale doesn't translate this field (even as a 1:1 match) this
 results in plugins often being unable to be found by title.

 This changes the weighting for the english search title from `0.00001` to
 `0.5` which results in the localised title being preferred, but should
 result in english matches still ranking in the results.

 See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-happened-to-the-plugin-
 search-system/
 See #6106, #7617.
