global search should not jump to exact result if more than one result is found

      When I search for jobs in the global search box, and my search string by accident is exactly identical to an existing username, I do not get a list of search results, instead it jumps to that users page.

      Example. I wanted to list all jobs that contain 'amy'. Instead it showed my the user page of 'amy'. I had to search for 'am' or 'my' to see a list of (too many) jobs.

      Expected: Always show a list, of more than one match is found. Only directly jump to a result, if there is only exactly one, even if it matches completely.

      PS: I think the same thing happens if you by accident type the complete name of a job, even if other jobs exist, that contain that search string.
