I asked Otto to get me a DB dump of the WP.org Support Forum titles for the past 60 days and then I made a wordle of them:

Ha ha ha… So I replaced “[Plugin:” with “[“, and then got:

See anything interesting in there?

Huh, don’t we have capital_p_dangit() in the forums?

It’s skewed from [Plugin … being the defacto title for all plugin support requests. Why isn’t not– Oh, right, it removed three letters.
(Sabreuse – No, but it’s bbPress, not WordPress + bbPress. And even if we did, I think we’d want it off so we could post things like ‘I installed in domain.com/wordpress…’ )

You might try a case-insensitive result. I see “WordPress”, “WordPress”, etc., as well as “Plugin” and “plugin”, etc.
Also, results by top-level forum might be instructive. The results seem heavily skewed to the Plugins forum. In “Themes and Templates” and “Howto and Troubleshooting”, I’d be surprised if “Help” and “Urgent” didn’t show up more prominently in the results.
