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.

You can define if you want to search only on your site (or given sites), or the entire web.

It is possible to customize your search features, the look and feel (layout, themes, custom colors and fonts, thumbnails), and much more.
