Comment:

 I'd missed the previous ticket, but I like this a lot.

 I double-checked in Screen Options to find that 999 is the default number
 of items per page on this screen.

 I'd be very surprised if there are a large percentage of sites that need
 more than that amount of plugins displayed on a single page. Due to this,
 for most installs, I would suspect this search box amounts to CTRL+F via
 PHP.

 Short of use cases for this search box (please do give them, if I'm
 missing them), I like the idea of redirecting to more useful results, with
 the potential of expanding the experience at a later date.

 It seems like, at the very least, it's worthwhile to run user tests on
 this.
