It does suck. I always just use google like “site:bbpress.org/forum/” or “site:bbpress.org/plugins/” with my keyword.

The WordPress.org search used to suck equally hard but it got better a while back. Still sucks here. I accept that it sucks and move along.

There were some plugin attempts at better search for bbPress, but I don’t think they’d install a plugin just to improve the plugin search here. I think they used Sphinx at WordPress.org to fix their search:
