Sorry for not looking into this sooner.
The "pattern" is simple:
C-h C-a gives you genuine scores (and hits sorted accordingly).
M-x apropos-documentation also does scoring.
M-x apropos doesn't do any scoring (so the list of matching symbols is
sorted alphabetically).
The "fix" to `apropos' is simple (see patch below), but I'm not sure I
like it, as just scoring on the symbol name itself really doesn't give
you a lot... IMO, the lexical ordering is better for this purpose...
WDYT?
of course, the simplest thing is to reset apropos-show-scores to nil -
then you don't see the scores anymore :-)
