Currently, as discussed on IRC in #gentoo-www, the search results from queries is displayed in order of 'Relevance' according to https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/pgtrgm.html function within PostGresql. Some searches eg. https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/search?q=dev-python%2Foslo-* would be better suited to an alphanumeric search, however. Proposal is to add a drop-down box on the Search page, and/or on results pages to alter the search order between 'Relevance', 'A-Z' possibly 'Z-A' and any other option found to be helpful in the future.
