Some apps names or keywords contain multiple words. For example 'LibreOffice
Calc' contains the word 'Calc'. This is rightfully detected as a prefix match,
however generally it is expected that searching for 'calc' would consistantly
return 'Calculator' in first position, instead of ranking them equally.
We now prioritise tokens that would otherwise rank equal based on where they
occur in the string, giving earlier occurences precedence.
GTK lost it's '+' suffix back in 2019, according to

This commit can be re-generated with:
git grep -l GTK+ \

| xargs sed -i 's/GTK+/GTK/g'
Most of the changes are in comments and documentation.
Split out XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP handling to a separate function and make
sure that it drops all the invalid entries properly. Earlier a bad
entry could slip through the checks by sitting just after another bad
entry, like in env being set to `invalid1!:invalid2!`, where
`invalid2!` could slip the checks.
None of these files starts with a #! line, and they are not native
binary executables, so if a user attempts to execute them as a program,
Unix shells will run them as /bin/sh scripts. This is not going to end
well, since none of them are shell scripts (the gio bash completion
is for bash, which is not a lowest-common-denominator POSIX shell, and
in any case is designed to be sourced rather than executed).

g_desktop_app_info_load_from_keyfile() refuses to load .desktop files
where the executable doesn't exist. Therefore whether or not the .desktop
file added in commit 148995544 is actually considered during tests depends
on /usr/bin/flatpak being installed. This isn't a safe assumption to make,
so use /bin/sh to test filtering of "prefix" commands.

Add the basename from the first component of the Exec line to the list of
strings to search for via g_desktop_app_info_search().
We treat Exec as a fairly strong match -- just below the visible name.
Add a testcase to make sure everything is working OK.
