Search results are not sorted by relevance #78

When searching for software in the software boutique, the search results are not ordered in a way that puts the most likely desired results at the top. This means users have to scroll down through seemingly irrelevant results to find what they want. This could be frustrating and provides a bad experience.

OS: Ubuntu Mate 20.04 beta Version: Latest master. Commit: 4c87d2570338c9c3c3ee913267d53e7c86692654

Steps to replicate

  1. Open Welcome
  2. Click Software
  3. Click Search Icon
  4. Enter 'visual studio code'
  5. Press Enter

Expected

Visual Studio Code to be the top result, or at least high up.

Actual

It is the 7th result after Caffeine, gLabels, TexWorks, Geany, PoEdit and Sublime Text. Caffeine does not appear to have any of my search words in the content at all.

Notes

I've written this as a bugfix but it is probably better classified as an improvement.
