 When I activate or deactivate a plugin via the plugins page in WP admin, I
 get the following text appear at the top of the page next to the Plugins
 heading:

 {{{Search results for “ ”}}}

 The URL looks like:

 {{{wp-admin/plugins.php?activate=true&plugin_status=search&paged=1&s=+}}}

 As you can see from the URL, {{{$s}}} or {{{$_REQUEST['s']}}} is set which
 results in the following line (around 414) in wp-admin/plugins.php
 executing:

 {{{printf( '<span class="subtitle">' . __('Search results for
 “%s”') . '</span>', esc_html( $s ) );}}}

 Why is {{{$_REQUEST['s']}}} being set in this situation? Does it need to
 be?
