Description
Today, when using the UI to add a new plugin, I only have two basic options.
- I may either upload the plugin as a zip-file, which somehow hasn't got into my behavior yet. (But soon may, if the issue described here doesn't get a nice solutuion.)
- Or I can search for Keyword|Author|Tag
I'd like to have a third way of finding the plugin. Reason is I may already know the exact plugin slug (or plugin URL).
One way might be to add one more option in the drop-down, to make it Keyword|Author|Tag|Plugin URL
And if the user selects the option Plugin URL, then we should disregard anything up to last occurrence of "/" and then use that last part as the plugin slug.

Search on the WordPress.org Plugins section has been improved to include URL since this ticket was created.
The example attached (Akismet) now returns the anticipated plugin as its primary result, and other plugins work similarly.
Even if I search for the full URL of the plugin Akismet, it doesn't reach page one today...
