📝 Why & how

Improves search recall for libraries whose names contain all the query words but not as a contiguous substring.

Problem: Searching for react-native-markdown would not surface libraries like react-native-enriched-markdown or react-native-live-markdown in the cleanedUpNameMatchPoints, npmPkgNameMatchPoints, and repoNameMatchPoints scoring tiers, because those tiers only checked for contiguous substring matches. The word enriched/live in the middle broke the match entirely, scoring 0.

Solution: After stripping the react-native/react prefix from both the query and package name, split into tokens and check if every token appears in the cleaned-up name. This adds a fallback scoring tier to three match checks:

• npmPkgNameMatchPoints: 125 (contiguous) → 100 (token match) → 0
• cleanedUpNameMatchPoints: 100 (contiguous) → 75 (token match) → 0
• repoNameMatchPoints: 50 (contiguous) → 35 (token match) → 0

Contiguous substring matches still score higher, so a library like react-native-markdown-renderer correctly ranks above react-native-enriched-markdown for the query react-native-markdown — but both now appear in results instead of only the former.

Tested the changes locally and it looks like nice improvement, thanks! 🙏

This approach also makes single word queries more accurate which is a nice side-effect. 🙂
