I have six docsets installed - Java SE7, Java SE8, Bash, Vim, MySQL, and JUnit (which I imported from Dash).
My main interest is Java, though. Previously, when I entered a class name, such as "Pattern" into the search box, I got the documentation for java.util.regex.Pattern in one of the top places in the results box.
Now, instead, I get tons of partial matches, method names, and what not. I need to scroll down considerably to find the class name.
Can you please change the search results display so that it displays, in this order:
- Exact (case-sensitive) matches
- Exact (case-insensitive) matches
- Initial matches (case-sensitive), e.g.
PatternSyntaxException.
- Initial matches (case-insensitive)
- Partial matches (e.g.
perl-patterns, applyPattern...)
So that users will be more likely to find what they were actually looking for? Or at least, add this ordering as an option in the preferences.
I would also suggest to allow the user to configure the order in which results from different docsets are displayed, so that if I mostly use Java, I'll see classes and methods from Java first).
Alphabetic order is not helpful in this case...
