That drives me nuts. It's an oldie - don't ask me why i am report this so late... 😊
A picture shows it better:
Toolbox search results often shows not 1st found :(

It seems correct to me; your search is showing everything that has an "array" connector. However, I do not think that searches should show connector types; that is what filters are for. I assume Outsim did a programming shortcut here.

Nope! - look above the arrow...
The filled greyed circle is the second from left - to show the beginning of the found comps/mods i/u have to click the one on the left 🙁

Would also be nice to have some more useful sorting options. For example, I'd find it useful if modules that have the search term in their name were listed first - handy if you can only remember part of the name. Or 'sort by favourite' that lists them in order of the modules you use most often. Very often the 'sort by name' and 'sort by group' options leave me looking at a page of modules bearing no relation to what I'm seeking - e.g. Search for 'array', sorted by group - 1st item in the list is 'http Post'!. Lucky Google doesn't work like that, or it would be faster to catch a bus to the local library than to search the web.
To save even more searching, customisable keyboard shortcuts for our favourites would also be handy - imagine, for example; +, -, * , / on the numpad calling up the maths modules, with CTRL, ALT, SHIFT used to decide if it is Float, Integer, or Stream.
P.S. How do I organise my toolbox into nice tidy sub folders? 😈

Ah I see now. This is because SM incorrectly remembers your scroll position. Eg: Open SM, search for "float". It will go to the first scroll position. Now scroll to the third position. Then search for "int". SM will give you the third position still.
So yes a bug, just the positions need to be cleared after searching or changing folders.

precisely infuzion - u found the reason and a solution for the programmer 😉
@Luddite: Sub folders would really be useful (even renaming doesn't work at the moment -i think)

The whole thing needs a serious remake. Try this for instance. Search for "NOT" without the " " of course.
If I make that search I would expect the primitive named NOT to show up first but its way down there in the jungle with a bunch of other prims and modules that has nothing to do with NOT.

I can not even find "Float Changed" since "changed" doesn't work, & I don't know what folder it would be in since my folders are ruined.

Try searching for "boolean not"

Yeah - use that often...even 'boo not' is enough 😉
