# Plugin search doesn’t work

 * Hi,
 * When I try searching for the plugins, it doesn’t work at all. That means, no 
   matter, what I enter as a search term, the system always shows me the full list
   of plugins (more than 50000).
 * I’ve already installed Health Check plugin and it said nothing bad. After enabling
   troubleshooting mode nothing changed.
 * So I need help. This is obviously a bug of WordPress 5.8.1, because I see it 
   on each of my sites.
 * Thanks!

   same every time I do a search.

 * This issue has been reproduced by others, and looks like it might be an issue
   with plugin search API and wordpress.org, not individual sites. Appropriate folks
   are taking a look and hope to get this resolved soon.
