Plugin search result count API showing wrong

[Mahesh901122]

When we search the plugin then the plugin search count is showing wrong count.

E.g.

• Search found 1 plugin then it showing 2 items.
• Search found 18 plugins then it showing 19 items.

I was be search plugin MG Post Contributor then it showing 2 items. Refer screenshot:

After debugging, I found it comes from API.

\wp-admin\includes\class-wp-plugin-install-list-table.php LINE - 208

Snippet:

$api = plugins_api( 'query_plugins', $args );

On line 226 we set total_items using $api->info['results']

$this->set_pagination_args( array(
	'total_items' => $api->info['results'],
	'per_page' => $args['per_page'],
) );

Tested on new WordPress setup too.

I see the same behaviour, but not for every plugin.
Looking at the output of $api = plugins_api( 'query_plugins', $args ); it appears the API (sometimes?) returns the wrong value in $api->info['results'].

Problems with the API should be reported on ​https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ in future.

This appears to be a bbPress 1.x issue as it's affecting the underlying BB_Query query, quite possibly due to the way the query is built, or maybe with the interaction with our current search application (Sphinx) or another custom query modifier we're running.

A new plugin directory is due to replace bbPress in the not-too-distant future which doesn't suffer from this issue. As the count is only affecting a trivial count, it's not an urgent fix and unless someone spots what's causing the issue will be fixed when the switch over occurs.

Thanks @barryceelen debugging the issue.

@dd32 I thought It's WordPress core issue . But, After debugging I found it come from API. But, At the time of reporting this issue I was miss the right Trac.

In future I'll add the issues in relative Trac. Thanks @dd32 for the detailed clarification.
