Internal WordPress Plug-in Search dont show relevant results

[chris1407]

Today, I used the integrated plug-in search feature in WordPress to look for two plug-ins. As an example, I will use 'Elementor.' When you type 'Elementor' into the search field, you only find the plug-in on page 5. This is the case with other plug-ins as well. It can be quite frustrating when you enter the exact name of a plug-in and then have to sift through 100 results before you find it. This was not the case before.

@chris1407 Chris1407, I tried reproducing the issue using WordPress 6.5 and 6.5.3, no other plugins activated, and using the Twenty Twenty Four theme, but this seems to be working well for me.
Watch:
6.5:- ​https://share.zight.com/RBuAdbPv
6.5.3:- ​https://share.zight.com/KoukWRmB

Have you tried disabling any other third-party plugin or switching to the default theme to test if something is affecting the search feature, like a conflict?

You are right, i tried it in the us version and it works. But in the german & italian and perhaps other not us versions, it dont works anymore: ​https://prnt.sc/mJDI_PaA8qx4
