Biggest opportunity: “autocomplete”, “autocompletion” and “relevanssi” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
Install conversion
How it's measured →4.7%
of downloads still active
At least 800 of 17.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,778 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.3.27, well behind 7.1.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| autocomplete your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| autocompletion your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| relevanssi your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Relevanssi author here. Please do not use this plugin in its current form. It’s dangerous for performance and may cause server crashes. It will also slow down page loads in a rather terrifying manner.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ trixee9.4y ago
This is a nice plugin but it breaks my customised search box. The search box doesn’t display properly unless No Style is selected, and even then once you start typing into the search box, the drop-down has no border and looks silly. Other than that, it’s a promising plugin and would be a nice feature to have.

This little plugin adds autocomplete to Relevanssi, simple and effective. NIce options for using their style sheet or you can use your own.
