Search rankings are broken

[ecxyzzy]

Expected Behavior

Search results should be listed in descending order of relevance score, then by ascending lexicographic ordering of the object's ID for objects with the same score.

Current Behavior

In production, results for "art" are ranked like this:

    "data": {
        "search": [
            {
                "result": {
                    "__typename": "Instructor",
                    "ucinetid": "adlander"
                },
                "rank": 0.24317084
            },
            {

    }
}

Cannot be reproduced locally probably due to the smaller sample size.

Possible Solution

Sort results in JS-space.
