Currently there is no relevancy based ranking for results. We should implement a way to track a user's most used items so that when searched for, they come up first, not just based on alphabetical ordering

We should definitely try to have some combination of "times selected" and "most recently selected". Just sorting based on times clicked is not quite enough for good relevancy ranking since someone could open an item 100 times in a month, then not touch it again for several months.

We'll have to figure out how to keep track of this in the database, and how to do it in a way that won't impact performance. Though if we do it in the long running background process it should be fine.
