Comment (by dd32):

 >  Also it looks like line 198:
 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress.org/blob/7c52c748eab8f1d3b33bca81f15cf30341f66694/wordpress.org/public_html
 /wp-content/plugins/plugin-directory/class-plugin-search.php#L198 is also
 incorrect, but not causing problems as long as no one adds an extra param.

 That's not an issue; Passing a string as the first/only param will cast to
 an array, it's only when arg 2+ is provided not in an array that the issue
 arises.

 > is to try fixing the bug that was introduced and see how it affects some
 of these search examples

 I'll defer to your judgement here, Let's give that a shot and see how it
 affects results.
