Portal title conforming to search term and/or title of chosen search result

[kgeographer]

It has always seemed a drawback that when for example I search for 'Abydos', the top hit is titled Çanakkale, and the portal title reads "Dardanelles; Çanakkale; Abydos; Hellespont; ..."

A tricky thing to implement, but would improve UX no doubt.

@kgeographer : Am I to understand that you'd like this highlighted text to be replaced with the searched-for "Abydos"? But what if I'd done a similar-to search on "abydds", which of the variants should be used to form the title? And what about all the other results which also contain "Abydos" or something similar among their variants? It's a bit of a hornet's nest, I think, and likely to introduce confusion, whereas the current behaviour is at least consistent.

Other options, none of which I think are any good:

• highlight/bold any variant which matches the search term exactly, but these might be hidden by a View All link.
• move search term exact-match to the top of the variant list.

Ok, talked me out of it.
