of downloads still active
At least 50 of 9.6K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Search plugin keeps 0.7%, across 647 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Search plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain availability your tag | #5 | #16 | 0 |
| domain checker your tag | #10 | #17 | down 1 |
| wordpress domain checker your tag | #12 | #19 | down 1 |
| domain search your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wordpress domain names your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
16 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 13 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “wordpress domain checker”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “domain search” and “wordpress domain names” 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.

Even though the domain is not available in the internet, searching for any domain I always get the response “Sorry, [domain] is already taken!”
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ DEVDISPO6.3y ago
Checks only “.com” in free version. Deleted plugin. Not recommended
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ asw6.7y ago
Not what I needed. Free version only checks availability for .com domains, not any TLD as in description. One star for inaccurate description. Otherwise it seems to work.
