[Last call][Design] Search - Relevance

[Jeffrey Harris]

Hi John,

If this worked well, I'd be in favor of having relevance sort in
Preview.  I tried the specific use case you mention, though, and found
that the search results continue to defy my expectations, which I think
undermines the argument.

If this is easy to fix, great, but if it's not, lets get it working well
after Preview.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
