Description

Searching for the bytes package produces a list of results that's bizarre.

Some repositories with just a hundred or so downloads crowd out this package which has 33K. What order are these results presented in? I can't see a pattern here.

You'd think an exact match on name would push it to the top, but apparently that's not the case.

While I'm happy I found the nom package as an interesting alternative, there's a bunch of other stuff in there which really shouldn't be at the top.
