This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle. Changing version to '29'. It looks like that the search is ordered not by length of message, but by percentage occurrence in text. I tested it with "dnf search a" and you can see the pattern. I believe that the current ordering system is more preferable, because more relevant information is on the top. Anyway thanks a lot for your report. I think most users will find this behavior surprising and would expect it to be sorted alphabetically. In particular, this is a behavior regression from `yum`, which absolutely sorted alphabetically. It's also in direct contrast to what other distros do - e.g., `apt`. This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '29'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 29 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 32 development cycle. Changing version to 32. I believe this is fixed in following PR: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1610 *** Bug 1811461 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** FEDORA-2020-a943fde9ba has been submitted as an update to Fedora 32. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-a943fde9ba FEDORA-2020-f3f7292b39 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 31. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-f3f7292b39 FEDORA-2020-f3f7292b39 has been pushed to the Fedora 31 testing repository.
