Example case

SUMMARY
Kickoff sorts search results strangely. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Search for exact prefix of a program name. My example: I want Mullvad so I search "mul".

OBSERVED RESULT
Kickoff displays other results before the one with exact prefix match.

EXPECTED RESULT
Show results with matching name first.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Nixos unstable 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0
Qt Version: 6.8.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
See screenshot.
Krunner doesn't have this problem.
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2025-01-15 03:22:53 UTC 
Do you see the same thing if you search from KRunner i.e using Alt+Space?
Comment 2 shatz.dan 2025-01-15 04:52:35 UTC 
No, krunner gives expected ordering
Comment 3 TraceyC 2025-01-16 19:34:59 UTC 
This looks like a duplicate of 492949 (where other entries show up before what would more closely match the search).
