 * This is the error I’ve been getting on WordPress when I try to search for a plugin:“
   An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this
   server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support
   forums.
 * Try again”
 * I’ve been getting this for the past 3-4 hours, what’s wrong?

 * But, the tilte of your post says: “Error when installing plugin”
 * Which one is the issue: (1) when searching for plugins through dashboard, or (
   2) when installing plugins?
 * Which theme are you using?
