Description antony.kikaxa 2015-02-27 13:22:28 UTC 
menu search should display best results at bottom - closer to the search field - for better usability.
it's a pain to navigate search results with keyboard and/or mouse now.
Comment 1 Eike Hein 2015-02-27 13:27:59 UTC 
Note you can press arrow down to get to the top of the list.

Good point, but it isn't intuitive to do so for me.
I still prefer closer results for the mouse, though.
Comment 3 Alexander Mentyu 2017-12-06 08:31:16 UTC 
Looks like this wish is resolved with 'Align search results to bottom' checkbox in settings window
Comment 4 antony.kikaxa 2017-12-06 10:08:17 UTC 
Not really - the results are aligned to bottom, but the "best" are still on the top of the list - and require a lot of keyboard/mouse navigation to reach.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2022-06-25 16:26:38 UTC 
An alternative option is to move the search field to the top.
