Unpublished plugins in plugin list

[Gared]

In the search results of tools/getPlugin.js you get a list of all plugins beginning with "ep_".
Also those ones that are marked as deprecated or already unpublished.
I haven't found any way to get these informations from npm. The only difference between published and unpublished plugins is the missing description.
Any ideas to fix this problem?

if(module.description === "") return ?

This would be a workaround we could try if there is no better way for that...

npm shouldn't be showing unpublished modules in it's search results, I guess that's an upstream bug?

npm/npm#4848

It's kinda funny, no one on the npm team actually seems to want to deal with the problems surrounding search. They really need to hire someone who can figure out a decent solution for them.. It's been "broken" for quite a few years now. I might bump Matt about it to see if he can throw some weight at it

If npm don't want to change something we have to find a better way to handle our plugins...

Yea for now a if(description === "") will be fine.. All ep_ plugins are published w/ descriptions
