i suspect that "prefer opened projects" is checked which is the default. This
will show some hits lower if they: are not opened or not even in a project.

> "Go to Symbol" and "Go to File" orders results incorrectly

> Reporter: Eirik Bakke
> Priority: Major
>
> If a project contains two Java classes "TestClass" and "TestAnotherClass",
> and the user types in "TestClass" into either the "Go to Symbol" or "Go to
> File" dialog, then "TestAnotherClass" ends up being listed before
> "TestClass", and ends up being the default selection. In this case the
> correct, the default result should obviously be "TestClass". Some tweaking of
> the ordering logic is needed to achieve this.
> In many practical cases, the right class ends up being way down the list.
> This greatly diminishes the value of the Go to Symbol/File functionality.
> I believe this used to work correctly in older (pre-Apache?) NetBeans
> versions.
