Description
Brief description of your issue
If I search Visual Studio I got all the list but if I search with 2022. I got only one item. This can be better fixed by using Lucene search on the backend server. I did implement one a long time ago and I am able to make it work for non-English language which a lot of language rules applied.
While looking at the search result, I feel it's looking to search exactly in the string. The current result is not useful at all. I search for Visual Studio 2022 and it's giving me only one 1 result.
Steps to reproduce
Just search as I did, refer to the screenshot.
Expected behavior
If someone searches Visual Studio 2022, I am expecting it to provide all variants (PRO, Community, Enterprise). If you compare it to my.visualstudio.com that's giving better results than winget.
Actual behavior
Only showing 1 item as a search result.
Environment
Windows 10 with latest up to date.
