Description Nate Graham 2023-04-26 20:49:54 UTC
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run `appstreamcli search iso | grep -i popsicle` in a terminal window to make sure Popsicle is available and AppStream sees it
2. Launch Discover with only its PackageKit and Flatpak backends by running `plasma-discover --backends flatpak,packagekit` in a terminal window
3. Search for "iso"


OBSERVED RESULT
Popsicle isn't in the search results


EXPECTED RESULT
Popsicle is in the search results

Git commit 786243247a9b661c3fdc910df5cc8d5250267f1e by Marco Martin.

Relevance sorting heuristics for search

Search also in appstreamId(): weird but only way to make gimp come up
when searching for gimp, there is also appstream searchTokens but they
are abused and lead to a lot of garbage results.

Do a new sortRole default when there is a search. This relevance role
combines:

* rating
* a measure based on The Levenshtein distance between search string and
  app name
* an exact match with the name or a sub-word of the name

It makes sortings much more "expected" than any of the other sortings.
