This PR improves the search algorithm for blocks and patterns by implementing a rank-based search:
The blocks are ordered as follows:
Also, if the block is a "core" block, it has a bonus point.
Note that the search algorithm doesn't work properly for block variations, the issue there is not from the search algorithm but more from the inserter where we consider the variations and the blocks as a single "item". A separate refactoring should be done to improve that.
