 Relays SHOULD perform matching against `content` event field, and MAY perform
 matching against other fields if that makes sense in the context of a specific kind. 
 
+Results SHOULD be returned in descending order by quality of search result (as defined by the implementation),
+not by the usual `.created_at`. The `limit` filter SHOULD be applied after sorting by matching score.
 A query string may contain `key:value` pairs (two words separated by colon), these are extensions, relays SHOULD ignore 
 extensions they don't support.
