1. Go to http://plugins.netbeans.org/
2. Notice that the live filter has two combo boxes for version: "NetBeans version" and "Verified for".

Right now I can select two different versions in each of these combo boxes, which does not make sense to me. It's not useful to query for plugins that work with version A and are verified for version B. It only makes sense to query for plugins that work with version A and are verified for the same version A.

So I think it would be sufficient (and less confusing) if Verified for was just a checkbox rather than a combo box (and it could be renamed to "Verified only").
The meaning would be that if I select some version A in the "NetBeans version" combo, and "Verified only" is checked, only plugins verified for version A would be displayed.
(And if I select Any in "NetBeans version" combo, then checking "Verified only" would display plugins that are verified for any version.)

Good idea. Honzo, can you please implement this?
