Exact Search Match should be easier to find

[gtalarico]

If a user search Wall Class search will return Face Wall StructuralWall and many others that include the words Wall and Class.

The entry that matches the query 100%, perhaps should be given a higher priority and pushed to the top. (especially considering the query might have been assisted by autocomplete, it means there is a high chance that the exact match is what the user was looking for.

Implementation idea: https://github.com/gtalarico/revitapidocs/blob/master/app/utils.py#L83 pass raw query instead "processed_query" to search_db()

while looping, add a re.match (flag ignore case) to check if an exact match is found. Add those to beggining of list instead of appending.

On front/js side, when creating DOM elements, check if query matches heading, if it does, apply a css class that will make those items stand out at the top

Ensure there is not significant performance decrease by running the search benchmark test before and after https://github.com/gtalarico/revitapidocs/blob/master/tests/benchmark.py
