Biggest opportunity: “filter”, “missing templates” and “page list” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 64.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Search plugin keeps 0.7%, across 645 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| filter your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| missing templates your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| page list your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| template filter your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

- “filter”, “missing templates” and “page list” 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.

Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

very useful with no bother

Perfect for its intended purpose.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ LinuxArchitect2.3y ago
I have a website where I have “internal” sites, like multisite except not. So all of my multiple personality and professional sites redirect to their own internal page of my new master project website. Why? Well, it gives me just one place to work, and all of my licensed plugins are licensed for a single site. I just retired with a single uber-project. I need time to do life stuff and it is just much easier to have a single “real” website. This plugin makes it easy to focus on an internal site as each has their own set of templates, letting each feel like their own site.
