Command palette: remove unrelated results consisting of far spread single character only matches
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Filter out search results that consist only of far spread matches of unrelated characters. All of the results in the screenshot contain the 6 characters "firefo" spread over the application name and description, but none of that is a useful result.
"All characters contained in order" is not a sufficiently good criteria. The matching characters should be closer together or at least some of them should be directly connected.
Scenario when this would be used?
Every time someone types a word to search. People don't want to match arbitrary sub sequences of text with the single characters of the words they type.
