 The Nominatum search results doesn’t seem suggest exact matches first.
 Example: Search for ‘Forland’. The search result is:

 Førland, Tysvær, Rogaland, Norway
 Førland, Kvinesdal, Vest-Agder, Norway
 Forland, Sund, Hordaland, Norway
 Førland, Norway

 It’s great that this also matches on Førland, but the exact match, here
 ‘Forland, Sund, Hordaland, Norway’, should be displayed first.
