#1516 closed enhancement (fixed)

Order search results by title relevance

Description

The search results should be ordered by title first. As it is now you get a mixed bag of content and title matches.
If it's ordered by title you get more specific results similar to the search query.

See the screenshots for "get posts"

To get even more relevant results the order should be to show the shortest full matches first. To get the same results for sentence matches a condition with spaces converted to underscores should be added in the posts_orderby clause.
