I think you make a valid point here. Perhaps the filter code should prefer exact matches over 
partial matches for sorting rather than just alphabetically ? Using your example, if previous 
descriptions exist for "ONG" and for "Amazon Szongo", and you type "ONG", then ONG 
should be first in the list.
