     32**Keyword Search**
     33
     34Addendio searches instantly based on Title, Description, Tags and Author.
     35
     36**Installs**
     37
     38This shows you how popular a plugin is. Popularity doesn't always means the best in town, but it provides an indication of the install base for the plugin you are looking at.
     39
     40**Rating**
     41
     42This is based on the rating given to the plugin/theme. Sometimes the number of ratings is so small that the rating is not particularly meaningful. That's why we have the next criteria, i.e. the number of ratings
     43
     44**Number of ratings**
     45
     46You can see how many people voted for the plugin/theme. This helps you decide whether the rating is meaningful or not. For example a 5-star theme based on 3 votes is clearly not a sufficient indicator.
     47
     48**Last update**
     49
     50A major issue for some plugins is the latest update date. On June 2015 we counted 17,000 plugins that hadn't been updated for more than 2 years. Chances are that those plugins have been abandoned by the developer. It's not an exact science, but it's worth having this notion in mind when choosing a plugin or a theme.
     51
     52**Plugin Type (aka Premium vs Standard)**
     53
     54One important question when searching for a plugin/theme is the following: who's behind this plugin? is it a developer who built this as a hobby or is there a company behind it? This question might seem irrelevant for some cases, but if you want to get an indication of whether the plugin/theme will be supported in the future it's a crucial one. There's no such a thing as a standard definition of what a premium plugin/theme is, so we decided to make our own.
     55This is in a nutshell what classifies a plugin/theme as Premium:
     56
     571. There's a company behind the plugin/theme
     581. Paid/pro version available.
     591. This is also valid for plugins that are free, but have an an add-ons strategy (e.g. Easy Digital Downloads, Ninja Forms, etc).
     601. Last update date < 2 years
     61
     62We are still busy categorizing all plugins and themes, so don't be surprised if the coverage is not complete. If you are a theme/plugin author, feel free to get in touch with us and let us know about your product here  [Addendio Contact](https://addendio.com/contact/ "Submit your plugin / theme")

     73== Frequently Asked Questions ==
     74
     75= Why did you build this? WordPress already has a search functionality for plugins and themes =
     76
     77True, but we decided there was room for improvement. We created this plugin as we wanted to make it easier for WordPress admins to find plugins and themes. We especially wanted to have more flexibility by allowing to filter and sort on key criteria. This allows you to select and refine with precision only what you are looking for. It becomes easier to compare several plugins as you can rank them according to your preferences.
     78
     79You can filter on the following criteria: Installs, Downloads, Rating, Number of ratings, Last update. Plugin type.
     80
     81**Installs**
     82This shows you how popular a plugin is. Popularity doesn't always means the best in town, but it provides an indication of the install base for the plugin you are looking at.

     105= Where is the data coming from? =
     106
     107We use the information present on WordPress.org and we update it regularly.
     108
     109= I see a difference between your data and Wordpress.org. How's that possible? =
     110
     111As mentioned before, we update our data regularly, but it's possible that there's a delay and that might explain the difference.
     112
     113= Where are my searches going? =
     114
     115Your searches go against our system (aka The Flash) and we then return our response to you. Just like a standard search engine.
     116
     117= What about my WordPress data? =
     118
     119We only send to our servers the parameters necessary to make your search. Your WordPress data doesn't go anywhere.
     120
     121= Can I use this on a multisite WordPress? =
     122We haven't tested this on multisite installation, but in theory it should work. If not, please let us know through this form...
     123
     124= Is there a limit to the amount of searches I can do? =
     125
