Ok, I'm doing it with "or" now instead of "orb" cause I trained "orb". I attached a screenshot of the results and Orbis.app comes in at 21 behind worse matches. I tried Show Source In Catalog and they come from a variety of catalog items. The first, Activity Monitor.app comes from the default /Applications file scanner, not even one I set up. Number 2, Corel, comes from a custom file scanner I made for /library/application support. "Forms", number 3, comes from a different file scanner I made for ~/google drive/my stuff. They don't seem to be coming from a common source.
And whether they are being processed like strings or file objects, I can't see what string algorithm could possibly be giving me the results I'm getting. Alphabetical? No, "to read" folder comes first. Length? No, core.jar comes first. Etc. Below in the other thread (accidentally double posted trying to edit the title) I rule out a bunch of other things it could be doing. It makes no sense to me. I mean look at the first result for "OR" for a better example.
