Searching in Window Walker for current active running apps is not accurate #25659

Open

Description

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.69.1

Installation method

Microsoft Store

Running as admin

None

Area(s) with issue?

PowerToys Run

Steps to reproduce

I have disabled all the other options of PowerToys Run and only enabled "Window Walker" because that's the only functionality I need.

I have 3 apps open and their titles are:

  • New Issue · microsoft/PowerToys - Firefox Developer Edition
  • Spotify Premium
  • Windows PowerShell

✔️ Expected Behavior

I expect when I type "spot" then "Spotify Premium" to show up at the top of the search results.

❌ Actual Behavior

But it is showing me "New Issue · microsoft/PowerToys - Firefox Developer Edition" instead:

I understand the reason for it, it's because the fuzzy finding algorithm has a problem:

New Issue · microsoft/PowerToys - Firefox Developer Edition
