Improve search behaviour for search by pool ticker
Currently, if you search for a pool by it's ticker e.g. 000 then you might get a page of search results in Yoroi with 30 or so pools, and the pool that you were actually looking for (the one with ticker 000) will be rather challenging to locate in there. Same applies for other pool tickers that happen to be valid combinations of digits/characters that can appear in a hex string.
Better behaviour would be to prioritize search results and if the search string is max-ticker-length characters long or less, to show pools with matches in the ticker first, followed by pools with some substring matching in the various pool ID strings (which are a lot longer than max-ticker-length).
This way people who own such stake pools on Cardano network aren't stuck constantly being asked by potential new delegators 'I typed in 000 in the search field and clicked search, which 000 pool should i be picking...' and should make for a more pleasant UX.
The above suggestion should apply to both 'search by score' and 'search by ticker' - also in both cases the exact matches on ticker should always be the first results if they exist, because that's the behaviour we want for people who are told 'you should delegate to ABC' and they hop onto Yoroi and go searching.
