Problem Description

When using the program plugin to start a program, I encounter an issue where my search string is not found as I would expect it. Given a shortcut to a program named metis Client Prod (cprod), I cannot select it by typing cprod, as I would expect, but only if I type (cprod.

To Reproduce

1. Create a shortcut to a program in a location that is indexed by Flow Launcher and name it metis Client Prod (cprod).
2. Try to launch the shortcut by typing cprod.

This issue is probably due to the matched string too far from the start, so the score is low.

We should:

1. Add full string match score bumping if not already added
2. Tweak the scoring for scenarios like this where the match is towards the end of the string.
