 **Problem:**
 Searching for any particular plugins shows the related plugins based on
 the keywords, out of which some old and unmaintained plugins also appear
 in the results which might be a vulnerability issue for their users.

 **Possible Solution:**
 Adding Filters to categorize the results for searchers query:
 1. Latest to Oldest
 2. Oldest to Latest
 3. Most Downloads
 4. Least Downloads
 5. Highest Rated
 6. Lowest Rated

 **Exception:**
 Adding the filters, rather than completely changing the way the results
 appear (such as: showing the most updated results first, etc) would be
 more useful, and it would be more fair for all publishers/plugin-
 maintainers.

 **Possible Improvements:**
 Reducing the risk of downloading incompatible old, untrusted, unmaintained
 plugins leading to vulnerability or other risks in website (business :D).
