Description of the new feature / enhancement
I'd like to have the "best" results for search at the top of the list.
I often end up with results from the "msstore" source that aren't as accurate as what I search for as compared to the default "winget" source.
This could be achieved by applying the logic WinGet uses to evaluate results, or by configuring the source display order if results are grouped by source.
