 > Note: clicking Install does display the repo page. Clicking Install
 should just start the install, and clicking the plugin name could do the
 popup instead.

 I agree that the current behaviour is disruptive but I don’t like the idea
 of an Install link that would start the installation immediately without
 displaying some more detailed information about the plugin.

 The 3 links that I think each row in the search results needs are already
 there:

  1. Plugin homepage

  2. Author homepage

  3. Link to show more info and install the plugin

 Maybe some rearrangement is all that’s needed.  Here is a thought:

  *  The plugin name link brings up the popup window to see more info an
 install the plugin.  In that case, it could have a TITLE attribute like:
 “Click to see more information and install {PLUGIN_NAME}”.

  *  The plugin homepage link is moved next to the author homepage link.

  *  The action column is dropped.
