439591 - search: add-on name matches should be on top/first

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 378657

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, defect)

Description

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

I'm trying to find the "All-in-One Sidebar" extension ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1027 ). Searching for the full name doesn't show it on the first page, searching for only "sidebar" also shows other results first which even haven't sidebar in its title.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/search?q=sidebar&cat=all
Add-ons with "sidebar" in its name should show up first.

The first half of this is a dupe of 378657.  For the second half, we could definitely use better sorting, in general.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=all-in-one+sidebar&cat=all shows me the "All-in-One Sidebar" extension as the first result now; we pushed 12 3.4.5 milestone bugs recently.

See also bug 438767 and bug 439112 (I agree that we could still use better sorting, as in comment 1).
