Thanks. Yes, all characters are acutally indexed, with some logic to split intelligently when required. It will always go for the most exact match first though.

I have started looking at ranking the main implementation over usage, but found the results were less useful generally. This may have just been me though, as I wanted to see usage rather then the implementation, since if I know that I will just go to the source.

Perhaps an option to request that the orginal source is given greater weight on an advanced search page would solve this.




Perhaps simply an info box which points to the implementation, set off from the usage results. No reason to give the results equal screen real-estate.
