relevancy improvement
When doing a title search, search results that have the search term in the title should have a higher relevancy than those that have the search term in the subtitle.
For example, when doing a title search for "thriller" in our catalog, two of the first three results have thriller in the title. You have scroll through over a hundred more search results before you find another item titled "Thrillers" and another page of results before you find another result specifically titled "Thriller" The rest of the results have thriller in the subtitle.
If there is an exact title match for a search, it should be at the top of results.

The title "Thrillers : 100 must-reads" was on page 14 (with 10 results per page):
The title "Thriller : stories to keep you up all night" didn't come up until page 23

You should be seeing an exact title match first. Can you share the link for the Thriller title that you found later in the results or which page of search results you found it?
