So the weight is the same for both of these.

There's a few tricks we could do to try to boost this... I'll try them later possibly.

We can do a CRC32("name") and also search for the CRC32("query") and see if they match and if they match, nudge the result by one.

CCing James to see what he thinks.

A heuristic for "what did the person really mean" might include weighting (in part) by popularity. Rather than dealing with extra CRCs (which are case sensitive and would add some extra juggling) I'd think about changing the sort mode to an expression and do something along the lines of "@weight + log(ADU)".

checked with Dave that we don't care(so much) about weights when it comes to personas(https://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=fireftp&cat=all&lver=any&pid=1&sort=&pp=20&lup=&advanced= )
