[Bug]: It's impossible to search for extensions if the thing they're for is similar to a common word

[wtodom]

What happened?

This applies to a huge number of possible searches, but currently I'm trying to look for extensions related to https://www.canva.com/. Even with results sorted by Relevance, the entire list is filled with extensions related to "canvas" (mostly the html element). This specific search "only" has 123 results currently so it's possible to manually go through all of them, but this is a terrible user experience and many searches have too many results for this to even be feasible.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected to see results that were actually related to my search. Is there any way to only show results that include an exact match for the search term(s)? Fuzzy matching is great sometimes, but in many cases it actively harms the quality of the outcome. In contexts like this (extension search) I think there needs to be a way to disable it, or something that resolves this issue.

Is there an existing issue for this?
