Rank text search results #2334

Would like to display options that more closely match query towards the top of the dropdown list.

It can be confusing to have to scroll down the dropdown to find the exact match.

We can modify the ranking of options that match the option label or display string, so that the manager knows how to sort them.

e.g searching for Notch in autocomplete (hg19 example)

Notch1 should be displayed towards the top of the dropdown list vs the options that were matched due to its description.

I think a relatively small text similarity would help, the results are pretty much unordered currently
