Improve FTS search: ordering, result limits and 2-column display

[meyerlor]

• Switch similarity() to word_similarity() so short search terms (e.g. "106") score equally for all labels containing the term as a whole word, letting the secondary ORDER BY item_label produce a clean alphabetical list
• Raise SQL fetch limit (40→500), per-layer cap (30→50) and total cap (60→100) to prevent late-alphabet results being silently dropped
• Widen search panel (max-width 70%→85%), cap height at 95%
• Apply 2-column layout via CSS :has() only when a category has 11+ results; each item is capped at 280px with word wrapping

I admit this is maybe questionable, and especially the values how many results per layer / in total should be displayed is set kind of randomly. But imho, this improves the search a bit for imprecise search terms, giving more results in a 2-column layout. No hard feelings if you reject this!

Love it !

We should really activate autocompletion for these searches. Not trivial to do since there are different providers, but it would be awesome to have.

I built a quick hack for this website :
https://sig.gard.fr/index.php/view/map/?repository=risques&project=zi_gard

See the related files

• JavaScript file:
  autocomplete_search_dock.js

• CSS file:
  autocomplete_search_dock.css.css

This is just to see "what it could do". The code is quite old and not really maintained (some ref to OpenLayers 2 functions ...)

ouhw, autocomplete would be loveley, indeed. I had it not on my list but now that you mention it..!

What i had on my list was "upward pointing children search" (dunno how to explain it - search for a child of a 1:n related relation, get the parent feature as result)

Nice to have too !
NB: I edited my previous post with embedded files

The site is down (or i can not access it?) but i'm going through your files now. I'll draft a dedicated PR for autocompletion if i can make it work!
