Worked before?

never

Impact

It's more difficult to complete my work

Repro Steps & Context

Open Nuget UI. Search for Newtonsoft.

You won't get the base package first, and what you do get is a randomly sorted list!

Hello, can you share what your results look like and what your expectation is? When I try this, I see them in the same order as nuget.org, and the first result is the base Newtonsoft.Json package.

Hi

Sorry didn't see the earlier notification.

I actually get the same although for some reason the UI scrolls down one entry so I don't see newtonsoft.json at the top of the list, so that's misleading...

That being said, this list is in not in any logical order that I can easily determine. There's no ranking score or indicator etc.

Thanks,
Daniel

It's up to the server to determine the ranking/order. The protocol that client-server uses for search doesn't have a way for the server to tell the client what the search score is.
