Description
The plugin search results are uneven depending on how long the description is. I think we can use masonry to help the layout. I have 2 patches. One that uses masonry and another that uses a fixed height and truncates the description.

Masonry would be a no - makes it impossible to scan across rows of plugins quickly. I'd also be pretty opposed to truncating descriptions. I think it looks fine as-is - is there a really compelling reason to even out the gutters?

I guess the first time I noticed it, it was a larger gap. I was having a hard time finding what I searched for to get the larger gap. I will post here if I come across it.

The first screenshot looks fine to me as well.

I would like it if each row grow to the height of the tallest in that row, that way the bottoms of the cards line up and those are easier to scan. But in lieu of that I'm perfectly fine with the current situation.

Equal height plugin cards can be made using CSS flexbox. Browsers that don't understand flexbox should be safe and still use floats. I can't test in IE 10/11 so if you think it's safe to start using flexbox, please carefully check this as there may be some "Known issues" as reported on http://caniuse.com/#feat=flexbox

I think equal height using flexbox looks strange with all the extra whitespace. In any case, let's maybelater this, as I believe it to be a bit too early for us to be playing with flexbox in the admin.
