Title:
  HUD does not show the adequate results in Ubuntu 14.04

Status in Unity HUD:
  Confirmed
Status in Libcolumbus, a small, fast, error tolerant matcher:
  Confirmed
Status in “hud” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On a live version of trusty thar - beta -:

  When I use the HUD menu in an application, I have to enter lots of
  letters, until the right entry shows up. For the first 3/5 letters,
  the menu shows just unfitting entries, that do not even match the
  combination of letters. This way the HUD menue gets almost useless,
  since one has to enter almost the whole menue entry without any
  knowledge if it was spelled correctly in advance.

  To reproduce:
  - Use e.g. Libre Office Writer (the Firefox Menue shew the same behavior)
  - Press ALT
  - try to insert a FOOTNOTE
  - press letters: foo
  - HUD shows 5 menue entries without footnote beeing included. infact it does not show 1 entry uncluding even foo*
  - complete the search string: the right entry does appear in the list of suggested entries not before the letters FOOTNO are entered.

  - In 12.04 and subsequent releases menue entries that fit the pattern
  show up immediately.
