Most relevant file not on top of results list?

[mindstormer]

Why is it that when I search for the name of a folder, I don't get the most relevant folder on top of the results? Example: https://i.imgur.com/5SKEve8.png

Also, often times I will need to click the "Path" header on top of the column to sort the path by name to be able to find the relevant folder.

Thanks.

By default, search results are returned by name in alphabetical order.
In your case, you are also have Match Path enabled, so all the other items returned are also relevant (per you search criteria).
One method to get a more constrained set of results would be to use \java projects\ as your search term.

if you consider "most often selected" as "most relevant", then you can simply show the "Run Count" Column and sort by that. You need to enable the run history in the "History"-part of the options, though!
