A Better Way to Search the WordPress Plugin Repository

The WordPress plugin repository is full of broken plugins and duplication, making it quite frustrating at times to find the plugin you need. Want a better way to search for WordPress plugins? Check out searchwpplugins.com.

SearchWPplugins is a better way to search:

SearchWPplugins enables you to enter many more relevant search parameters than the regular WordPress repository search form.

In this sample search I am returning plugins with “twitter” as a keyword, with a minimum 4-star rating, a minimum of 50 reviews, a minimum of 20000 downloads, last updated no later than 02/07/2012, and excluding old and broken plugins.
