            Bug ID: 360243
           Summary: BAD ordering of search results
           Product: Baloo
           Version: 5.9.2
          Platform: Compiled Sources
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Engine
          Assignee: m...@vhanda.in
          Reporter: gougho...@gmail.com
                CC: pinak.ah...@gmail.com

It's just embarrassing to use the Baloo search engine: Someone asked me to show
a doc. I proudly (Why? I'm the only one in my office using KDE.) pressed
Alt+Space and typed the full name of that doc. But fuck! Where is it? Seconds
later, I had to  open dolphin to locate that doc. (I'm sure I typed the exact
file name.)

What Baloo gives is a bunch of files with no reasonable ordering. Ill-ordering
and full-text indexing makes Baloo useless to me: I have a lot of files having
keyword BLAH and one file with file name BLAH.pdf, then most likely I cannot
locate BLAH.pdf with Baloo quickly.

Disabling full-text indexing is not appropriate, of course. Then Baloo SHOULD
order it's search results.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put a lot of files with similar topics in a folder indexed by Baloo.
2. Search one file by it's file name.

Actual Results:  
The file I want is listed at a random position.

Expected Results:  
The file I want is listed at the beginning.
