Improved food search

MFP likes to acknowledge the millions of items in its database, which is fine, even though a large number are no longer usable because they are so out of date. I'm sure many people become frustrated trying to discern the accuracy of items displayed from a search. MFP could make it easier by:

(1) Displaying an exact match first, then by the user's entered items that are within the normal range of a search as is currently used, then finally by the date of the item's most recent update activity (entry or update).

(2) The date of the item's most recent update activity should be added to the search result rather than having to list the nutrition information (The nutrition information should still remain available.)
