Title:
  [feature request] Prefer exact matches in dash search

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I type terminal I get "Byobu Terminal, Terminal, etc.".

  I want "Terminal" that's why I typed "terminal".

  So I think that search should prefer exact matches (case insensitive,
  of course).

  So that when I want "Terminal" I type "terminal" and press enter.

  Otherwise I need to type "term..." and either select "Terminal" with
  the keyboard or mouse (touch is now a big thing as well).

  Thanks,
  Shahar
