SUMMARY
Fuzzy search seems to prefer matches at the end or the middle of the string
over matches at the start.
In my case, I had this happen when searching for Deluge.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
If I type "D", the results are:
- Deluge
- Dolphin
- Discover
- MiSide
If I type "De", the results are:
- MiSide
- SideQuest
...
- Blender
...
at 16th place: Deluge
If I type "Del", the results are:
- Deluge
- Blender
- Dolphin
- MiSide
It seems like it aggressively prefers matching substrings anywhere in the
middle or end of the found results over at the start, which in this case causes
Deluge to be moved down to the 16th place of the search result, even though De
perfectly matches Deluge.
