Comment (by andrewhoyer):

 As a relatively new plugin developer, I have found it very difficult to
 promote my work because exact match of the name of my plugins do not bring
 them near (or to) the top of the list. In one case, the exact match was
 placed on page 5.

 I have created a Core ticket for this issue as well, although I understand
 that Meta is the data source for this.

 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/63552

 This ticket has been open for 8 years. This is such an obvious issue, and
 I'm seeing others post about it online more often. Can we bump the
 priority on this? Figuratively, of course, as I don't intend to change the
 actual priority of this ticket to "highest omg bbq". 😆
