Comment 1 Tomas Zezula 2015-09-08 15:22:58 UTC 
The hits are ordered by alphabets (historically from the beginning of the NetBeans).
If we want to change it, in the issue #253389 I propose to use Levenshtein distance for it, we need to add some switch for those who prefer lexicographic order.

For the NB 8.1 I can at least try to prefer exact match as Vladimir suggested, but it's  non trivial due to result filtering.
