What problem does this address?

This week, Anna Morris shared the following feedback in the FSE Outreach Program's channel:

But mainly, selecting what page to add feels really hard. So, finding the News page (for a client site) for example took ages, it brings up everything with News in. If I wasn't totally sure of the name of a page (actually it was called "blog" I actually had to go and find the page and check, and come back and search. I've never had to do that before. I think there's something with the hirachy of info it shows that's off maybe? Also not being able to go... well it's a page... what pages do I have in a list (like before) is somehow hard for me cognitively perhaps. Finally, all that info of listing pages/posts/cateogries etc with the seached term in in a little dropdown thing was hard, it's fiddly and small and exhausting

At the core of this is the experience of what appears upon searching for something to add to the navigation block. Right now, it's a bit odd what's displayed. Here are two very simple examples:

I search for "test" and "testing duotone" comes up before the post actually titled "test":

I search for "contact" and the one with the worse permalink (/contact-2) appears first:

It seems we might be overly biasing for recently updated rather than name matches?

What is your proposed solution?

I'm not quite sure! This is too high level and obvious to say but add more granularity to the search functionality. I imagine this problem will likely ease when one can bulk add items/see more at once: #31667
