Because the results shown in the ZObjectSelector dropdown in the front-end are paginated, there might be the case in which an exact match doesn't show the correct result.
Steps to reproduce
- Overwrite the object Z3/Key with an object with more keys. For example:
- Go to https://wikifunctions.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=wikilambda_edit&format=json&summary=More%20Keys&zid=Z3&zobject={}&token=%2B\
- Paste the following ZObject in the zobject field, generate the token and click "Make request"

"Z2K1": {
"Z1K1": "Z6",
"Z6K1": "Z3"

{

}
]
}
}- Also using the Sandbox, make a call to wikilambdasearch_labels with the exact match "Key" and language "en"
Observed behavior
- The exact match "Key" doesn't appear until the end of the second page.
Expected behavior
- If there's an exact match it should appear the first
- Or there should be some kind of API parameter to determine how the results are being ordered, with an option of "best match"
