Comment (by dd32):

 In [changeset:"14809" 14809]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="14809"
 Plugin Directory: Search: Restore slug boosting in the search algorithm.

 This was a bug introduced in [13640], which went unnoticed due to a desire
 to reduce reliance upon slugs for search boosting.

 Slug boosting has some legitimate uses however, so this is being restored
 for the time being.

 Props jeangalea, gibrown.
 See #8225/
