        When searching, symbols are sorted thus:
-         - exact match first: an exact match is when the search matches
-           the complete symbol name;
-         - alphabetical order: when two symbols do not match exactly,
-           they are sorted in alphabetical order (in the user's current
-           locale).

+           is when the search matches the complete symbol name);
+         - then, other matches, sorted alphabetically.
        For example: ^ATH.K matches:
            ATH5K ATH9K ATH5K_AHB ATH5K_DEBUG [...] ATH6KL ATH6KL_DEBUG
            [...] ATH9K_AHB ATH9K_BTCOEX_SUPPORT ATH9K_COMMON [...]
