Try searching for an extension by name in the web installed tab. I searched for "JCE" , "Joomla content editor", "simple image gallery" etc. I've attached some screenshots after search was done:
The record which has the closest match should end up on top, eg. JCE Editors' listings as well as JCE related plugins, or something that at least contains the string.
Heaps of non related extensions, with no mention of the original search string in the results.
Vanilla install of Joomla 3.x. As far as I can remember, this is an issue with all the Joomla versions that has the web installer.
I don't have a solution or PR for this yet, but want to get into the code and see if I can improve the search so that it actually works.
I don't know how many people use the feature, but it has frustrated me so much in the past, especially when setting up a new site, that I just went and downloaded the extensions direct form the developer sites and did not bother to use the web installer.

i think install from web plugin has it's own github repository
https://github.com/joomla-extensions/install-from-web-client/issues
so imo this issue should be wrote there.
@jeckodevelopment you will notice I changed the filter to sort by name but still got same result.
Thanks @andrepereiradasilva I was not aware that there is a seperate repo for that. If that is the correct place to create an issue, I will create a new one over there.
Closing here. Please create the issue on the other repo
