ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

That makes sense. As you add more characters, the relative weightings of the search results can change. Presumably that's why you typed more characters in the first place, no? :)

I could see why this happens if there was Dinner & Discord, but I don't understand why when the first letters remain the same.

and re: the second point; no. I tend to hit `D` then `i` quickly together (using both hands), and the list loads, then I hit s with my left hand and hit enter with my right, slightly afterwards. So I constantly am searching "Dis" and then hitting enter on "Discover", not "Discord".
