[REQUEST] Optimize reference search algorithm

[erinehall]

The search on the "Reference Manager" page inconsistently displays results. Sometimes searching for a token does not return the expected results, or relevant entries are listed far down on the list of results, making it difficult to find what the users need.

Solution:
Enhance the References search functionality to consistently return relevant results for all fields and improve the overall search experience.

Potential Solutions:

1. Optimize the search algorithm to rank more relevant results (e.g., exact matches) higher in the results list.
2. Implement smarter filtering to ensure searches for search names consistently return appropriate results.
3. Display a preview or highlight matching text within the search results for easier identification.

Couple of updates:

1. Removed the bug label as the issue with the source_name query not returning relevant results was resolved back in September.
2. Keeping this open as a new request to optimize the search query to rank relevant results higher in the list.
3. Moving this issue to the REST API repo, as the search algorithm is handled by the backend.
