Hi Tom, We currently bump the recommended charms over the community ones. The reason other shows is due to using N-grams (3-N) in search and the ranking logic using that puts recommended charms over the non-recommended ones. And we're not only searching over names of charms but a bunch of content that a charm has.
The system works relatively well for recommended charms if you know the name (or close to what name is), but not in cases where a name is long and the charm is only in community space. That's why you get better results with short query vs a longer one. We're working on providing better search results in the following weeks.
