          I found the same thing with Jenkins 2.235.2 under Win10 Pro.

          The data is definitely there, just not being shown. I found that if you type into the Search field and know some 'word' in the plugin then you will get a list.

          e.g. when I typed 'scm' into the search field suddenly 30+ plugins appeared in the list.

          It also appears you need to type two characters minimum into the search field, so you cannot just type 'e' and hope to get all plugins listed.

          That is the expected behavior. According to the releases notes for [LTS 2.235.1 (changes since 2.224.1)|https://www.jenkins.io/changelog-stable,]

          Various improvements to the plugin manager, including: It no longer shows all available plugins by default; use search field to find plugins. They are now sorted by popularity by default. Additionally, categories are no longer used to group plugins, instead they're shown as labels. (issue 61166, pull 4580, pull 4513, pull 4588, pull 4534, pull 4591, pull 4535, pull 4589, pull 4584)

          This is a very badly thought out change, which causes confusion and makes it impossible to explore and find new plugins, which is how I setup my first Jenkins system.

          I now am moving from a very old Jenkins system and a bunch of plugins that I used to use seem to have gone, and now I cannot find their replacements.

          There is no obvious wildcard method to see all available plugins. I tried , ., ., ?, **

          Apply the same logic to the other tabs and see how bad an idea this actually is.

          This change should be reverted.

          This does seem like an odd change and it first glance it just looks like the list isn't properly updating.
