semantic-search vs Qodo
semantic-search is no longer listed on any marketplace we read: these are its last known data, as of 2026‑10‑17.
semantic-search is a plugin bundle for AI coding tools published by Benjamin Borbe. No marketplace we read lists it any more. Qodo is a plugin bundle for AI coding tools published by qodo-ai. Marketplaces we read that list it: 3 (Claude Code: claude-plugins-official, Claude: knowledge-work-plugins, Community GitHub marketplaces). As of our marketplace pass on 2026-10-28. A plugin in this pair is no longer listed on any marketplace we read, so search engines are asked not to index the page.

Each figure is the marketplace's own and is never added up across marketplaces. A marketplace that publishes no figure shows none: no number is not zero.
