Re: search box gives out the results in unpractical order; and why are so few shown by default?

This problem indeed seems to be overcome in the newer version 2.x, as I
myself have tried out on the search term "text" on the test content
page https://moinmoin2.pythonanywhere.com/ . 
The search mechanism has been refined (being called "whoosh"),
introducing a "scoring system" to rank search results
(cf. https://moinmoin2.pythonanywhere.com/+serve/docs/user/search.html?highlight=score
).
