The plight of the common first name -- 'Spilker' works. should probably not be clever and split search tokens. Or is searching for plugins with multiple specified maintainers a relevant use case?
Your example highlights an issue: there is no reason to show `structs` to a user at all, since it offers no user-level features. It is just an API. No one chose to install it, they just got it as a dependency from some update of another plugin.
When I worked on NetBeans we could mark modules as being libraries (~ APIs) or bridges (integrations), which would get installed only as needed, and would normally be hidden from display. Perhaps Jenkins needs an equivalent. W.r.t. “bridges” I have an open RFE to deprecate optional dependencies in favor of these.

We could introduce the 'library' category of plugins and add a special meaning to that.
However I wouldn't make that hide the plugin -- there may be legitimate uses to want to learn about it -- just deemphasize it (e.g. lower ranking)

Wondering if that should be somehow expressed in the hpi itself, or if it's fine/a feature to have it outside. I guess having it in the project itself would have an advantage: if a plugin goes from user-facing to only library-plugin (or the contrary), that could be expressed per version.Great work BTW!
