Why are "exact match" keyword results displayed so far down the list of results?
I have posted about this before, and I will likely post again until the problem is fixed.
Why does IMDb choose not to display "exact match" keyword results as the first result on the list?
I can't imagine why IMDb would want to display the exact result that people are searching for so far down the list of results.
Here is a search where the exact match is not listed until result #7:
https://www.imdb.com/find/?s=kw&q=%22waking%20up%20covered%20in%20blood%22

Here is another example. For this one, the exact match doesn't appear on the list until result #9. The exact match should always be listed first.
Search "man chases a woman"

@keyword_expert Thanks again for the problem report. We now have a ticket for this enhancement in the queue for the search team. It will not be quick as there are some larger search priorities to handle first, but the team will get to it eventually.
