Transfer locations API not prioritizing exact paths in search for project transfers

#423958 (closed) is happening again. I am trying to transfer the following projects to gitlab-org:

• https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/code-creation/knowledge-graph
• https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/code-creation/gitlab-code-parser

I am just seeing:

My browser is calling GET https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/69095239/transfer_locations?per_page=20&page=1&search=gitlab-org, and it's not returning exact matches for some reason.
