Description

In the plugin section, when searching and no results are found,
WP will display all the plugins instead of displaying a message saying "no results were found"
try it yourself:

/wp-admin/plugins.php?s=wpwontfindthis

this happened in WP3.0-beta2

  • Keywords ux-feedback added; plugin search wp-admin removed
  • Version changed from 3.0 to 2.8

Looks like this behaviour has been present since introduction in 2.8

comment:2 dd32 — 4 years ago

  • Component changed from General to WordPress.org
  • Keywords ux-feedback removed
  • Milestone changed from 3.0 to WordPress.org site
  • Owner set to mdawaffe
  • Status changed from new to assigned
  • Version 2.8 deleted

I believe this is an API bug on api.wordpress.org, It did work when introduced, I suspect this change occurred recently however.

  • Component changed from WordPress.org to Administration
  • Milestone changed from WordPress.org site to 3.0
  • Owner changed from mdawaffe to dd32
  • Version set to 2.8

Misread the ticket. Its about searching the installed plugins, not searching for new plugins.

(In [14742]) Allow for an empty search result set on the Installed Plugin searching, ie. when a non-existent term is searched. Fixes #13451

As a side note, hitting /wp-admin/plugin-install.php?tab=search will indeed return a list of all plugins at present.

(In [14743]) Do not perform a plugin search for an empty string on the Installed plugins screen. Clicking "Search Plugins" without a term would result in "No plugins to show". See #13451
