I have been working with a customer on an issue with the customer search box.
They have a customer with a two character name, the name just so happens to be a common two letter word that would pull up and match multiple accounts, except it does not pull up the actual two letter account due to the logic behind the query.
This is a very unique scenario but we would like the function to be able to search for a customer that would contain 1 or maybe 2 characters that would also match others and have those listed first.
An example I could make would be the word "Be"
If I were to search that in an org the logic would not pull it if other accounts that start or have the letters Be in it.
Search "Be"
Results:
Be a good company
Be an okay company
Be a bad company
and so on...

Hi Cameron, understood the context. That would be too much difficulty if there are too many Accounts starting with same letters.
I don't think we have a workaround to achieve this.

I am a little confused. Doesn't it work this way? If I select "Customer Search starts with" as my search flavor and then type Be<enter> I get things with "Be<space>" first.
@karl, If they have hundreds of Accounts starting with Be, then the problem comes. We only show top 10 records.
It's a search result ranking problem. Complete text matches should be ranked higher than partial search text match. In the example illustrated by Cameron -
The company name "Be" would be ranked higher than "Be is a good company", making it easy for the customer to find the company they are searching for.
