Bug Description

I find the jujucharms.com website confusing when searching for a charm.

Steps to reproduce:

1) navigate to jujucharms.com
2) enter "etcd" in the search box, hit enter
3) The resulting page (SS attached) has a few issues:

First, why are there multiple hits for 'etcd' - if juju charms are supposed to be "devops distilled"..... this doesn't seem vbery distilled to me.

Second, the charm that's in the charm store isn't the first one listed. Is this simply because the charm reviewers haven't kept up with contributions to this particular charm?

Third, there's no column heading for the numbers - it took me a while to figure out that this was a 'popularity score', as the popup doesn't always work that well on chrome it seems.

Finally, why do I get results in my search from completely unrelated charms? How is 'router v2' related to 'etcd'?

I think that some work on the usability in this area would make a huge difference. Ideally, if I type 'etcd' in the search box, and there's a charm in the charm store with the same name, it should just take me to that charm's page. If you miust show alternative charms, perhaps do it in the main charm page...
