Unsearchable due to too many results

[ChooKing]

Content with titles that are either common words or single letters are unsearchable. For example, the content at Text cannot be searched due to the fact that the entire title is "Text" and that is a common word. Another example is r which has a title of "r".

Recommendation: Place exact matches at the top of the list of autocompletions.

Thank you for the report!

This is actually only an issue in MDNBot, due to discords autocomplete limit. The CLI and API generally should not have that problem.

Regardless, I will take a closer look in MDNMan to see if I can filter the results better. And then also make a change on the bot side to show more relevant results at the top.

Specifically for the case of "r", the list of results is likely to be impractically large. Even on a system that does not limit the number of results allowed, it would be inconvenient to look through hundreds of results to find that one. Placing the exact match at the top is very convenient. It is notable that MDN does this on their website. Both "Text" and "r" are easy to find using their search because the exact match appears first.
