Searching for "php" on the plugin portal sends you here : http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginListPage.jsp?search=php Looking at the first result : http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=3 the only "php" in the text is in the home page field (http://www.visual-paradigm.com/dbva.php). That field should probably be excluded from the search.

It still does not work. If you search for "php" it will for some reason find for example "Inca X" plugin which does not mention "php" string at all. Or "XTT - Smart Web Clients for Java" plugin that has "php" in its long description as URL.
As Plugin Portal JSF site completly replaced I mark this issue as WNF...
