I noticed recently that the variable search suggestion is quite broken when I enter my queries. Below is a screenshot of me writing my query to filter down my results. But you can see the results don’t filter correctly.

 

This as been the case for a while now.

Ran into this problem this week as well. Typing into the box seems to do something because the results list changes, but it doesn’t seem to be filtering any of the results based on the query.

When searching for a colour style, results for similar colours appear above the exact match.

For example, I want to apply the root colour “Teal/600”. Above the exact match appears the similar looking “Blue/600”. It’s therefore more clicks/key presses to navigate to the exact match, whereas previously I could simply click the ‘Enter’ key.

Weighting should be changed so that the exact match always appears first.

The new color selection color picker is broken please fix it.
