Clean up related buttons and search #228

Closed kavigupta closed 4 months ago

There's a lot of kinds of region, and we should probably prioritize the "main" ones over other ones in the related buttons and search.

Examples of less significant region types:

Simple solution for search is just downweighting the ones that are less relevant, potentially treating them as 1 more bigram off, which would send them to the bottom of the list.

For related buttons, a system by which only actually related kinds of regions would show up might make sense. Ordering might also help, as might a ... if there are many regions that intersect a given one. I think the buttons should also probably be colored by type, rather than by size
