At the moment, search for 'subprocess' in text and component = library 
returns 53 open issues.  A quick scan of the titles suggests that about 
40 are for the subprocess module.  So changing the search to 
'subprocess' in title might be better.

If every module and built-in and keyword were added to the drop-down 
list, it would be pretty long.  But I agree that better sorting could 
help. G. Polo, for one, made his own app to download canned search 
results (for tk and idle) and store them in a local db, where he could 
add annotations.
