Autocomplete Search vs Display Posts

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

Active-install trajectory

Autocomplete Search moved up one install band, 10+ to 20+; Display Posts moved down one install band, 80K+ to 70K+. That's a single step across the whole window, so there's no trajectory to draw. The download trend below moves daily.

7-day average daily downloads. Downloads spike for about a week after each release as the install base re-downloads, so read this as release cadence, not growth.
