Rank or Weight categories of results

I’d like to be able to weight up or down particular categories of results from within monarch. For example, if I type the prefix “ch” right now, every contact with ch in their name shows up and Chrome doesn’t. I know you have a short alias gc for Google Chrome. Another example, if I prefix “sl”, an old grad school acquaintance with a last name starting with Sl comes up before Slack. If I type the letter “y”, various browser bookmarks show up first.

I understand you’re applying some kind of heuristic so that recently chosen items come up higher, and that’s good, but in general it’d be nice to be able to tell Monarch “apps should count for more, contacts and bookmarks should count for less”.

    As an example of this, I went to launch Plex and you can see the default weighting. No offence to Alex, who is a good guy, but this implies a non-exact contacts match is by default being weighted above an exact application match, and I’d want it to the opposite. (And other people might differ)

    If I just type “pl”, I get a result where the person’s initials are P.L. above Plex. Clever, but also indicative of what I mean.
