Hi, I'm struggling with some search processes on D.O. module search. IT appears that for a while now, when I search for a module, the search results return all sorts of modules that *mention* the module I'm looking for, but not the actual module.
For instance, if I want to find the views project page, and search for "views" and select modules - the the views module is not being returned on the first page - it's buried way depp down the list of modules that are returned. Does not matter what sort order I apply - most installed or relevancy etc. It's extremely difficult to find the actual modules I'm looking for.

If I DO know the module path, I can type the URL in project/xxxxx but in most cases I think I know the name of the module, but not sure it the path has underscores or concatenated words or whatever.

Is this just me? Maybe I'm missing a very simple search setting - and just going bonkers?
Any guidance appreciated.
Thanks
Jason brooks

This really needs to get fixed. I have the same problem, i cannot find the most relevant modules. I think the problem is the "Sort by" option. It looks that "Relevancy" isn't working properly, and you cant choose "Most Installed". This didn't happened before, but i dont know when all of this changed for worse
