[Toaster] search behaviour

[Damian, Alexandru]

Hi,

I updated the typeaheads for the project page, using this sort, and using
the minimum length for typeaheads at two characters.

The branch was pushed here:

adamian/20150708_sorting

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/log/?h=adamian/20150708_sorting

I am not sure if this is the right solution, pending feedback from Tiago,
but it gives you guys a chance to see how it feels.

Cheers,
Alex
