Description
For example, if you search for a project name (even an exact match), the project is not the first hit.

Tricky to resolve "properly" -- the sorting is by date and this affects pagination in a rather inflexible way.
However, the results page does have links to restrict the search type to e.g. Projects or whatever. We could simply make those links more obvious.

Links now more obvious in 1333582e34c4 -- calling this "partly resolved"!

Partial resolution now merged and live.

I suppose one other thing we could do is simply show Projects results (if there are any) in a separate list above the general results.
A problem with this is that it may be a solution that's workable now only because there are not very many projects -- it wouldn't be very satisfactory to be swamped by low-relevance hits on incidental words for dozens of projects.

Implemented the latter idea in 87bfac1079fd (not live yet).
At the moment the project results are only shown separately if there are no more than five of them -- this might need tuning.
