Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Search, defect)

Description

[krupa raj[:krupa]]

Attachment: screenshot

steps to reproduce:
a)Search for "double check" 

URL: AMO-https://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=double+check&cat=all&lver=any&atype=0&sort=&pid=1&pp=20&lup=&advanced=

expected result:
The add-on "doublecheck" tops the list of search results ie., add-ons with search term in their names should get higher weight compared to add-ons which have the search term in their description.

actual result:
When searching for "double check",add-ons like "Combine Buttons" are listed before "doublecheck"

Example add-ons:

Combine buttons[73146]-lists the search term:double(1-time) and check(3 times)

doublecheck[159631]-other than having the search term in the add-on name,lists double(5 times) and check(5 times)

Not sure what you were verifying, but this is still broke.

Look on page two and you see personas with weatherly and and weathered and weather star as well as addons without weather in the name.

Look on page 5 and you see addons with weather in the title. I realize that some of those are not reviewed and one is self hosted, but the search still makes very little sense.

Weather in the title of an addon should put things farther ahead in the search.

IcyFox Persona (page 4) should not be ahead of weather interactive theme or australian weather.
