Hide plugin search form on Favorites tab

[bor0]

The plugin search form is currently displayed on the Favorites tab, where it is not applicable.

This patch prevents the search form from rendering when tab=favorites, aligning the UI with expected behavior and reducing confusion.

cc @dd32, would be great to get your thoughts on this one as well

The plugin search form should not be displayed on the Favorites tab where it is not applicable. This change prevents the search form from rendering when viewing favorite plugins, reducing UI confusion and aligning with expected behavior.

@bor0 Tested on playground and it's working.

Checked on Featured, Popular, and Recommended pages, the search form is showing.

Checked on the Favorites page, the search form is not showing.

It looks good to me. Once trunk is open for commit again, I'll follow up. (At least a week from now.)

@westonruter any update on this

@manishdhorepatil-art The trunk branch is still frozen. Still waiting for business as usual. Probably will be another couple weeks.

@westonruter any update is the trunk open now

Nope

Plugins: Hide the search form on the Favorites tab.

The plugin search form does not apply to the Favorites tab, which instead expects a WordPress.org username to look up a user's favorited plugins. Rendering the term-based search form there was misleading. Update WP_Plugin_Install_List_Table::views() to read the global $tab and skip install_search_form() when the favorites tab is active, while leaving the form in place on the Featured, Popular, and Recommended tabs.
