Bug Description
To reproduce, open gnome terminal, then open the hud with alt, and try these searches:
"N"
"Ne"
"New"
"New "
"New P"
"New Pr"
"New Pro"
"New Profil"
"New Profile"
"New Profile..."
Note that the exact string of the menu item is "New Profile..."
Of these searches, only "New", "New Pro", and "New Profile" give the expected result. Of the others, approximately half do not list the expected result at all. In particular, "New Profile..." (the exact string) gives an incorrect top result.
I would expect all of these searches to give "New Profile..." as the top result.
