Description Randy Hudson CLA 2005-06-06 14:16:46 EDT 
If I type in "SWT" as the type to open, I expect the SWT class to be selected.
Instead, "SWTGraphics" is selected. A perfect name match should be the highest
scored match.
Comment 1 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2005-06-06 17:38:52 EDT 
The underlying problem is that the history is shown before I have the list from
the search engine. Either I have to wait until I have all matches (which will
slow down access to matches in histroy) or it will result in reordering the
result when the search results are available. This might get very confusing for
the user.

To get faster access to precise matches I have added the following support in
M7: a blank at the end will narrow the matches down to precise matches. So "SWT
" only shows SWT. 

For 3.2 we will look into getting the result from the search engine in sorted
form which will allow implementing the requested behaviour.

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
