Biggest opportunity: “pages”, “posts” and “search” 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 400 of 21.3K 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| launchbar your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| jarvis your tag | #2 | #2 | — |
| typeahead | #20 | #11 | 0 |
| pages your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| posts your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| search your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
4 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

The plugin deserves five stars for the solid search results in the admin area. Not messing the front end search and the usage is on point. Hit / and search. Also, it shows search results in other languages (tested Cyrillic). To the dev team: please review the code update – your plugin is truly worth it!

I just stumbled on to this type of WP plugin today and WOW my jaw dropped when I used this. I’m a huge sublime text fan so having a “Power Menu” in WordPress is SUPER cool! I love this thing. Thank you!

Is this not technically feasible?

When you are dealing with multiple custom post types and large data sets, I have found this plugin invaluable. It’s been a major assistance to both myself and our clients. Extremely easy to use and highly functional.

Our clients ask for this back if we accidentally remove it! Not sure anything else would be a better endorsement.
