When a new user first goes to use the search engine the drop-down for their home instance is set to the first item in the list. This usually results in the user having little to no search results.

As a fix the drop-down should set the seed instance as the first item. Ideally though, instances should be ordered by how large they are. Maybe by the number of posts?
