 This is my first Trac ticket, so please forgive any errors.

 I have a client hand-off today, and wanted to add Mark Jaquith's excellent
 plugin, WP Help, to their site.

 In the WP Plugin screen, I searched for the keywords "Wp Help". The plugin
 wasn't on the first page so I Googled and [https://wordpress.org/plugins
 /wp-help/ found the plugin], to make sure it hadn't been removed from the
 repo. After seeing it was still available, I went back to my client's site
 and  started paging through the results till I got to page 6 of 311, which
 is when I gave up because life is too short :)

 My expectation would be that the plugin appears on the first page when
 searching using the plugin name as the keyword(s).

 Side note, as an alternate search I tried searching by "Author". I used
 "Jacquith" which returned no results, then "Mark Jacquith" but still no
 results. Looks like that might be broken.
