Good question, I have noticed it and couldn’t (at the time) find a plugin that fixed it.
My solution:
Open the WordPress Plugin Directory page and search there – you get a lot more options. Copy the plugin title over to your site’s plugin admin page and search there – then install from there. It’s quicker than downloading from the Plugin Directory and reuploading, but you have to watch out because sometimes the plugin titles don’t correspond to your search string (the plugin search is kind of odd that way).
