Comment:

 Welcome to Meta Trac @alberttarress, and having discovered a huge
 annoyance of mine :)

 The plugin name difference here is due to plugin authors SEO'ing the
 search index (IMHO) as matches in the plugin name are more important (As..
 shockingly.. a search for a plugin name should return the plugin named
 that..)
 I'm not going to go in too much further detail here, to avoid duplicating
 discussion of the below tickets here.

 I've previously discussed this with multiple people, some documentation of
 this is in #7577 and my preference is to remove the duplication: #6106

 This ticket is a duplicate of #7644 and to a lesser degree those linked
 above.
