Search everywhere - files - Searching for relative path leads to correct result showing up at bottom

Answered

Hello,

I've had an issue with Intellj IDEA where it seems like the most relevant result to the query I enter appears at the bottom of the list instead of at the top.

For example, if I search for `path/to/file.tsx` the first result that I often see is `path/to/file_test.tsx` then it'll show several files that have similar paths or filenames, and then I will see `path/to/file.tsx` at the bottom of the list

Is there a way to change the settings such that the most relevant file appears at the top of the search results?

 

Example:

 

This is on 

IntelliJ IDEA 2021.1.3 (Ultimate Edition)

Thanks in advance!

There were some related changes recently, if I remember correctly. Please try the latest release version: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/index.html.

In case it still doesn't work as expected, please file an issue at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/newIssue?project=IDEA with a small sample project to reproduce.
