 Replying to [ticket:46763 joostdevalk]:
 > Currently if you search for a plugin to do X, and X is something that a
 plugin you already have matches for, this is what you get:
 >
 > https://cloudup.com/c0GYNTynpF4
 >
 > The disabled "Active" button there is not very useful, as it doesn't
 provide any context as to why that button is disabled. I'd like to propose
 a change: let's turn this into two separate groups of results, one that
 says "these plugins you already have installed might be able to help" and
 then a second group below that with other plugins.
 >
 > In my ideal world, we'd even have an "admin search" function, where you
 could be taken straight to the appropriate page for that keyword. This
 could be useful even for WordPress core, so I'm splitting that out into a
 second issue: #46764.
