Better sorting
Current sorting seems a bit off. E.g. searching "express" (by clicking on example on home page) returns "ifade" as top result. I assume because it has "Expressions" in its description. What I'd expect/want to see when I search for "express" is express.js itself on top + all the relevant express-* modules (so, primary sort by title string matching should work here), which are then sorted by e.g. popularity + latest update. Does this makes sense?
Thanks @yamalight! We'll look into it
I've been having the same experience. The results are returning queries in unpredictable order. A search query that is a part of a package name won't return the package name. Are there any additional tips on fine-tuning the search queries? npmsearch.com itself has predictable results, how can we achieve the same from the CURL API?
