 on the Search results section of Install Plugins, I feel quite strongly
 that this listing should also report the "Compatible up to:" (and possibly
 also the date of the most recent update if I wanted to be really finicky),
 as knowing this ahead of time would save me a ton of clickthroughs to old
 outdated plugins

 I believe this is somewhat related to
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/19520 but in a different vein,
 while installing new plugins

 note that this also is not the same thing as
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/22736 seeing as from what they say
 here, that any plugin that hasn't been updated in two years wouldn't show
 up anyway.

 I'd still like to know the current compatibility in the search results
 table so as to streamline my clicking around looking for something to fill
 the bill.
