The Ability to Search the Plugin Catalog

[sydlexius 310]

Being not just a lazy person, but also one who prefers keyboards over mouse clicks I sure would love the ability to search the plugin catalog!  Horizontally scrolling through each category is needless tedium, IMO.  A search box would be heaven-sent!

BTW, I wasn't too lazy to search the FR section for prior requests on this subject...if this is a duplicate, it wasn't for want of searching (BTW, this forum software is really crummy at it.  Booleans operators like "AND" are ignored as far as I can tell).

You could use the browser's search to achieve that, at least that's how I do it.

My experience with that is inconsistent at best.  Further, that's an incomplete solution as it does nothing for those who also use the apps to manage their servers.

Seems to be a basic function that has long been overlooked.

TBH, the Plugins UX kind of reminds me of the phrase "when your only tool is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail."  I don't browse plugin installs from a 10ft interface, so why does it have to mimic one?

Just what would you search for? 

A plugin name? What good is that?

The biggest problem with the catalogue is that most Plugins don't give a good description of what they do!
