Well, that's probably just the nature of a Swish search.  Your request
came up first, followed by other possibilities.  There may be an option
to make Swish return exactly what is asked for, with no "lower score
suggestions."

I haven't looked into the matter, but I suspect that it won't take a lot
of investigative work to tune up your search.  I'd start with the Swish-e
config file.

I'm using "FuzzyIndexingMode Stemming_en2" in the Swish-e config, which
may account for the "exact match followed by other suggestions" you were
presented with.
