Description
For some reason when searching, every janky disgusting subreddit with a small amount of subscribers appears before larger, more mainstream subs.
Example: r/Publicfreakout, an extremely popular, mostly SFW sub.
Type P and U you get "pussybforeandafter" with 73k subscribers and "publicsexporn" with 700k subscribers. Next "Publicfucking" with 300k viewers.
You have to pretty much spell out the entire "PublicFreakout" to get the more SFW subreddit with 4 MILLION subscribers.
An adjustment to the subreddit algorithm would be much appreciated.

Research direction
The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Reproduce the reported searches for "P" and "PU", then trace the Android app's subreddit search implementation and ranking inputs. Done means popular, mainstream subreddits such as r/PublicFreakout appear ahead of less relevant results.
