Search Autocomplete Text-Box has Fixed Height

[Anirudh4583]

Autocomplete box currently has a fixed height which makes the list overflow when the search matches results >6. Also, it looks primitive for lesser results.

Screenshots for reference:

Desirable:
the box will have a max height after which the text box would be scrollable.

@jennydaman thoughts?

Hmm, maybe instead we should simply limit the number of results to be shown... Say by a hard-coded amount: only top-5 autocomplete suggestions should be shown?

We also see here that the autocompletion names include duplicates. I think this is because it's searching for plugins by plugin_name instead of searching plugins metas.

That sounds like a better option. So we should:

• Search in both plugin_name and meta
• limit the number of results to 5/6 plugins
• get rid of duplicates

If we are searching in plugin metas by plugin_name, then it is unnecessary to dedupe.
