If a category has exact name entered, show it first
WIth the latest Git, yesterday I got this situation: I typed the name of a category that I know exists, but I had a hard time finding it, because it was far down in the suggestions.
My suggestion: If a category has exact name entered (ignoring uppercase/lowercase), show it first
You could design the search method to check for similarities ignoring caps, then by simple calculation decide if by how much percentage the query matches a category. Then sort the results from highest match to lowest.
@ismailisimba Something similar has already been implemented by @misaochan, please see https://github.com/commons-app/apps-android-commons/wiki/Category-suggestions-%28readme%29 Cheers!
Oh, sorry for not assigning this one in time... It seems that both @Kartik2016 and @pszklarska started working on it at the same time. Apologies for the confusion, this time I guess it makes sense to assign it to @pszklarska who has sent a pull request already. In the future we will try to assign sooner!
Hum, looks like Github does not allow me to assign to anybody outside the organization, actually! This means we need another way to indicate that an issue is assigned... maybe a label? In any case we will need to make that explicit in the documentation.
Yeah, the assignment is messy. :/ Maybe we could just state in comments "assigned to [name]", along with adding that label?
Strangely I still see this problem recently, the category with the entered name is very far in the list of suggestions:
@nicolas-raoul This is strangely weird. I tried with exactly the ones you tried, and they're appearing at the top of list for me :-/
@gupta-meghna64 I am using the Play Store beta version, I guess this has been fixed in master? :-)
