Description
Search by keyword may limit returned results to 10 or fewer. This may be problematic where the keyword used in the search is the name of a product and there are many listings that match the keyword.
Take for example the keyword 'Mylyn'. There are at least 22 matches for the keyword 'Mylyn', with no guarantee that Mylyn itself will be returned in the search results. While in ad-hoc testing I've seen Mylyn returned in search results in this scenario, is that always the case?
In order to avoid this problem I suggest that solutions where the keyword matches the start of the solution name should always be included in the search results, even if it causes the number of matches to be large.
Please indicate how it it determined which solutions are included in the results.
