Get plugins list

The new updated version is really nice but it is a little annoying that it replaces what you type with the top result when you hit enter. It would be very much appreciated if this didn't happen.

Maybe you push down arrow to select something from the drop down menu of auto completes?

 

I agree its kinda annoying

 

Maybe I am browsing plugins with names in common and not looking for a specific one, it's better to see a page of results and view through them at your leisure... why shouldn't you be able to use a search box as a search box and also press down to select the specific plugin to auto complete when you are looking for a specific one?

 

Exactly, that is what google does

 

Google also lets you search for exactly what you type rather than auto fill over it with the closest thing that it thinks you want to search for...

 

As does plugins.bukkit.org... the autofills are just suggestions..

 

My point is to give those suggestions, but if you push enter, don't take the autocomplete suggestion unless you push the down button

 

I search "Essentials" and get a ton of stupid wiki stuff that nobody reads anyway, it would be nice to have plugins first all the time.. especially if they were popular..

 

You're a bad person.

 

Nope, can't replicate on plugins.bukkit.org or on BukkitDev projects search.

 

If you must use BukkitDev (why aren't you using the shiny new search thing?), you'll have to setup the appropriate filter, as lukegb said:

 

Yet, whenever I narrow my search to "Projects" (should be default), Essentials comes up, but it's 16th down in the list. And other projects above it have update dates of times ranging from late 2011 to 2012. It's not that big of a deal, just pointing it out.

Haha, oh no I love the Bukkit wiki, I meant the forums for the plugins! (Got confused by "Projects only" and "Wiki only") I see everyone's problems with Essentials on their "forum", rather than the plugin itself. Wouldn't it make sense to show plugins first? But again, just a minor annoyance!

Yeah, I admit the search on DBO isn't perfect, part of why get plugins is better. See here and Essentials is marked #1.

 

No when you hit enter it replaces what you typed with the suggestion at the top of the list (the whole point of this post is because i does this... it overwrites what you have typed with the top suggestion in the list).

For example: If you want to find plugins with "Lock" in the name, so you type "Lock" in to the search box, when you hit enter it replaces what you have typed with "LockIP".

It's not huge, just a little annoying and unintuitive.
