Codex Desktop: Plugin search does not match plugin description text

Open 💬 1 comment Opened Apr 18, 2026 by Fenil-Patelll

Summary

In the Codex Desktop UI, the Plugins search box does not appear to match against a plugin’s description field, which makes capability-based discovery difficult.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Codex Desktop.
  2. Navigate to Plugins.
  3. In the search box, type a keyword that exists only in a plugin’s description (not in its name).

Expected

Plugins whose description contains the keyword should appear in results (case-insensitive substring match).

Actual

No (or incomplete) results unless the keyword matches the plugin name (and possibly other fields), but not the description.

Environment

  • OS: Windows
  • App version: (please fill in)
  • Plugin source: Marketplace / local / both (please fill in)

Notes

If helpful, I can add a minimal repro example once I have:

  • exact app version (About screen)
  • one plugin example (name + description snippet) and the search keyword used
