FileQuarry vs Search Regex

Head-to-head on the signals that matter, from the public WordPress.org data.

Search Regex is the only plugin here with enough reviews to score.

Active-install trajectory

Search Regex moved down one install band, 200K+ to 100K+. That's a single step across the whole window, so there's no trajectory to draw. The download trend below moves daily.
