      Problem Definition

      When searching for the exact page title in the advanced search, it will not display it as the first result if the text of the page title is present in any other content of the instance for example attachment name, as a text in any other page etc.

      Suggested Solution

      The page with the title matching with the search should be displayed in the first position.

      Why this is important

      Customers want their search to be more accurate and specific to the page they are searching.

      Workaround

      Search using Title Search, for example- title: Name of the page OR search the title in double quotes "name of the page"

            Same thing happening here and several complaints received from customers. It is a really annoying issue for users, who are not familiar with the internal structure of the documentation. They get results that apparently have nothing to do with their search and thus think that such an article does not exist in the documentation. This leaves a very bad impression on the customer, who cannot find the help they need.

            Yes, this would be helpful for me. As a user of many 'searchable' products I actually expect the suggested solution to be the default behavior. Page title matches should show up as (one of the) first results.
