The way filtering by text filter works is logical but is somewhat weird from a user perspective. If a user is looking for a particular result, maybe something they expected that they want to confirm, if that result is part of the supporting paths of many other results filtering for it doesn't necessarily bring it to the top, or even the first page. Here's an example:

Query: What genes' activity may be increased by Amlodipine?
https://ui.test.transltr.io/results?l=Amlodipine&i=PUBCHEM.COMPOUND:2162&t=3&r=0&q=dc787f7b-6660-46fb-b34d-c6848942a8ea

One of the results is SP1, with a score of 5. Setting a text field filter for "SP1" results in many other results listed before SP1 (which was on the second page after filtering in my test). I know that's how it's designed to work, but it might appear buggy to users. Maybe an exact match for the text filter could always be listed at the top?
