I use the WordPress web site on a daily basis for researching tools and techniques for web development. I often look at the plugin repository to see if a tool is already available before heading off to develop new functionality.

Unfortunately, I find the search results from within the WordPress plugins area severely lacking. Luckily, you can use a prefix in a Google search to get better results.

Any Google search can be restricted to a specific domain name or even smaller subset of a web site. In our case, I want to search the WordPress web site’s plugin area. The plugins are located at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins.

To execute a search you just type your search criteria followed by the site: prefix with the domain location you want to search.

Example:
related posts site:http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins
This will search for “related posts” in the plugins area of the WordPress web site.

Since it isn’t necessary to post comments, it will only affect those users who wish to post articles. I have been inundated with spam users registering and that has caused this change.

I will create a contact form to request to be an author in the near future.
