908387 - product/component searching should sort hits on product/component name before hits on descriptions

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Extensions, defect)

Description

[[:Aleksej]]

Attachment: screenshot of results for "layout", "dom" and "buil"

Some queries at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi give poor results — maybe returning all components from a product that has matching components.

"Layout" and "DOM" give "Core :: Layout" or "Core :: DOM", respectively, and after that apparently just every component of Core, instead of "Core :: Layout: *" / "Core :: DOM: *".  "layou" gives all components of "Core :: DOM".

"buil" gives many Boot2Gecko components which have no "buil" in their names or descriptions, but there is "Boot2Gecko :: Builds" (which is not shown first among anything).  "build" seems to return only relevant results.

this isn't what's happening..

component searching searches product and component descriptions for the words as a substring.  when sorting the results, if a product or component matches exactly the query, it will be sorted first, with all other results sorted alphabetically.

for both of your examples, the *product's* description is matching.

eg. Boot2Gecko's description is "FirefoxOS, or Boot2Gecko (B2G) is Mozilla's operating system built on web standards", which matches "buil".


sounds like we need to sort product/name matches before description matches.
