I have realized that F-Droid 1.10-alpha0 has problems with search results. I tried several search queries, and the results rarely had any association with what I entered. The affected searches, “launcher” “file” “edit” “droid” and “keyboard” all show some unrelated apps in the top results.
Enclosed is a link to screen shots of the bad filtering.
Looks like the client will search in summaries first. If I search ‘F-Droid’ the F-Droid client is the tenth result.
Yes, it will get better soon iirc.
There’s a pending Merge Request to make search a lot better here: Search improvements: Sort based on keyword matching and removed alphabetic sort (!889) · Merge requests · F-Droid / Client · GitLab
Unfortunately it has been rejected so far :(.
