Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

This plugin makes the WordPress built-in search ignore HTML tags in post content.

By default, the WordPress built-in search considers HTML tags in post content to be searchable content. This behaviour often yields unexpected results. For example, a search for the keyword “strong” returns posts with any <strong> tags in them, “title” returns posts with any HTML tags that have a title attribute (such as all the <img> tags that you insert via the post editor media buttons)… and so on.
