Possible to modify search to ignore file extensions, and default to an exact match if possible?
Hope I'm in the right place (is this the "official" fork of classic shell?)......when I do a "START cmd ENTER" I am wanting to open a command prompt. However, due to the way this works on classic shell, the selected file will typically either be some batch file (due to the .cmd extension) or sometimes a different shortcut like "GIT cmd".
I think better logic would be (and I don't think this should mess up anything for others?):
a) ignore file extensions
b) if there is an exact match (in this case cmd.exe), choose that as the default selected file

@torevor As you might know, this project needs a new name, afterwards it should be under re-branding procedure. https://github.com/coddec/Classic-Shell/issues/13
I have been in the same situation too haha. It's probably good to have a or two check box to toggle exact match or partial match and search file extension or not. Cause once we make the changes upon a) and b) I bet, someone will show up and say, I want search partially and including file extensions 😃 Just some personal ideas.
I have had the same problem. As a temporary workaround, I use the windows start menu, which I've assigned to LShift+win. I hit that combo, then type CMD, bash, PING, etc. and hit enter. Would be nice to not require this workaround

I believe this issue is related to this new one: Hide/de-prioritize system apps from search results (Windows 7 search behaviour) #463
