Plugin Namer tool doesn't detect exact/near-exact existing plugin names in the directory #1386

Open

Description

@tushar-addweb

Tested name: "LessFlux Image & Video Optimizer – WebP, AVIF, CDN & Lazy Load"

This is an already-published plugin on wordpress.org live.

Expected: Namer tool flags it as an existing plugin / slug conflict.

Actual: Verdict "Generally Allowable." Only flagged "LessFlux" as a trademark term, suggested slug lessflux-image-video-optimizer (unaware less-flux already exists).

Kindly refer below screenshot:-
