Symbol Navigation - Filtering - An item with a completely matching name is not selected

created 9 years ago

This isn't a bug per se, but it'd be nice if the QuickNavigation sorting were changed, or if there were otherwise an easy way to select an exact match in the QuickNavigation dialog.

For instance, perhaps I type Page to try to find my Page class, but I also get MyPage, AnotherPage, TeamPage, OtherPage…  If there are a lot of these, it's not easy to find the specific Page class buried way down in the list.

The easiest improvement, to my mind, would be to put exact matches at the top of the list, but maybe a keyboard shortcut to say "Select the exact match" would work too.

    Ryan,

    I agree with you, it should select an item with a completely matching name; e.g., as shown in the image below:
