[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-3808) "Go to Symbol" and "Go to File" orders results incorrectly

["Eirik Bakke (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-3808?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17032538#comment-17032538 ] 

Eirik Bakke commented on NETBEANS-3808:
---------------------------------------

Another ordering issue: a search term like "SomeFoozle" will list 50 "someFoozle" variables before the actual "SomeFoozle" class.

> If a project contains two Java classes "TestClass" and "TestAnotherClass", and the user types in "TestClass" into either the "Go to Symbol" or "Go to File" dialog, then "TestAnotherClass" ends up being listed before "TestClass", and ends up being the default selection. In this case the correct, the default result should obviously be "TestClass". Some tweaking of the ordering logic is needed to achieve this.
> In many practical cases, the right class ends up being way down the list. This greatly diminishes the value of the Go to Symbol/File functionality.
> I believe this used to work correctly in older (pre-Apache?) NetBeans versions.
