Sorry, Alex, I am not sure I follow. Which sort are you referring to when
you say "this sort"?

This is fine, as far as I can tell.

I've tested the branch, but the results in the typeahead are not the ones
I would have expected to see. I think I am missing some information to
really understand what's going on:


1. Which fields are being searched for the typeaheads?
2. How are results currently sorted in the typeaheads?

Thanks!
