Describe the issue you are experiencing

The auto-completion on the card-picker behaves erratically.

Describe the behavior you expected

Expected behavior

• Searching for the beginning of a card game such as "B" should filter cards starting with that letter such as "Button"
• Searching for a pattern included on a card name such as "most" should filter cards containing this pattern such as "Thermostat"

1. Go to any of your dashboards
2. Click on the overflow menu
3. Click on Edit your Dashboard
4. Click on ADD CARD
5. Type B on the search
6. ❌ BUTTON should be returned as part of the search results
7. Remove B and type A on the search
8. ❌ ALARM PANEL should be returned as part of the search
9. Remove A and Type The on the search
10. ❌ Thermostat and Weather forecast should be the only cards returned in the search

#18733 partially addresses this.

The reason B was not matching was the search was requiring a two character minimum match. The PR relax this requirement for single character filter strings, so now B will return Button (and much more).

The reason the matches everything is because the search is also attempting to search the card descriptions, of which nearly all of them start with The <name> card does... . I'm torn on whether or not that's good behavior, but wasn't confident enough to push for a change there.

If that would have to be the only cards to be returned, description should not longer be included in the search.

It can also be given a weight per key, so that "the" in titles or types result in a bigger score and appear first: https://www.fusejs.io/examples.html#default-weight
