[Directory] Exact matches are ranked lower

[aniruddha-adhikary]

Describe the bug
When searching for links in the directory (/#/directory), the search results are not sorted by match or relevance. For example, I am looking for the shortlink "sense". But the my search results do not contain the "exact" matching shortlink in the first 3-4 pages.

To Reproduce

1. Visit https://go.gov.sg/#/directory?query=sense

Expected behavior
The first result should've been /sense.
