Searching for flip doesn't even show flip because there are so many instances for the Flip type constructor and we only pick the top 20. We should sort the results based on relevance.

We faced the same issue in Hayoo. Take a look at https://github.com/hunt-framework/hayoo/blob/master/hayooIndexer/src/Hayoo/PackageRank.hs

It ranks a package by how many packages depend on it (transitively). You can use the ranks to boost types and functions. It is self-contained and could serve as a starting point for pursuit.

Resolved now that we switched to using Hoogle for searches.
