Search results rankings are not always what I'd expect #3176

I'm not sure what to recommend regarding the sort order of members in the search results but here are some cases where I did not get the order I expected intuitively:

  • [min]: the top-level member in dart:math seems more important than the properties on classes in dart:html, but the initial list only includes the latter.
  • [max]: weirdly, [max] gives a very different set of results than [min], though it also doesn't include dart:math's max which would be my top choice. I suspect most of the instances of max have a corresponding min and I would expect the results to reflect the same order for both.
  • [Element]: This may seem backwards given what I just said about dart:math but I think the widgets library should take priority over dart:html in the Flutter docs.
