Description

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6d27cf40-8a47-4c94-8e7a-d90b6e57b168

Earlier comment from @cemreinanc:
If results not sorted by default rank, backend applies a similarity gate to prevent unrelated results appear at top. So applying non default sorts filter more aggresively.

I propose we remove the aggressive filter and just sort the available results.
