Hi Nate, My understanding is that Snap to Best will show more "results" because it lists everything in that source, regardless of whether they match. Am I right to guess that you have 39 items on your Desktop, only 2 of which have p-r-o-d in their name? And that the highlighted item with "Snap to Best" is the same as the top item with "Filter Results"? That is, the same item "ranks" highest, but it is shown in a different context.
I use "Snap to Best" after I have arrowed into a text file, where it is helpful to see the lines around the top-ranked matched line. (For a source with a less defined order, such as "Desktop", I don't know what order "Snap to Best" chooses.) The down side is that the 2nd ranked match might be far away in the list. Maybe that is an alternate solution for me: in Snap to Best, is there a way to jump to the 2nd ranked match? In my original query, I was hoping for a way to make "prod" match "Product List" but not "PlopRunOverDitch". Or at least rank the first higher than the second by default. Of course, if I select "Product List" a few times, QS will learn to prefer that. But in my specific use case, I never have need to select the same thing multiple times, so QS never has a chance to learn.
