It's important to note that this set of rules is for use with a small (<10000), known, possibly hand crafted set of results. > Exact matches always come first. One place this very first rule doesn't work is autocomplete for geocoding. If you are typing "London": - There is a village called Lon, Pakistan [1] - There is also a village called Lond, Pakistan [2] - There are numerous places called Londo all over the world [3] So its necessary to determine that some places are more likely to be typed than others (population is a commonly available number that can help, but doesn't always work), or autocomplete becomes useless.
