KRunner output when given "cmd" (non-app results below it cropped out)
SUMMARY
When searching for "cmd" in Kickoff or KRunner, instead of Konsole appearing at
the top of the list a myriad of non-terminal applications show up, and with
KRunner on my system Konsole does not even appear *at all* because it's so far
down the list of matches.
Looking at KRunner's desktop file, it does in fact have "cmd" as one of its
keywords, while none of the other apps in my list do (including Kate for
example), so this seems like the fuzzy matching algorithm is given way too much
priority over exact keyword matches.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have Konsole and Kate installed
2. Search for "cmd" in either Kickoff or KRunner
OBSERVED RESULT
Kate appears above Konsole
EXPECTED RESULT
Konsole should be at the top since it has "cmd" as an exact keyword

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
While at the moment I am not completely sure if this is new to 6.5.0 or if this
is from a previous version, what inspired me to write this bug report is this
Reddit post saying that this bug only started appearing recently:
https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1og5xy7/search_priority_is_being_weird_now/
The case of that Reddit post is less severe than mine though since in my case I
happen to have the `kde-applications-meta` metapackage so I have all the KDE
applications installed, among others, and most of the bad matches happen to be
KDE apps/games, but the same problem of not being able to type "cmd" and
pressing Enter to get Konsole applies still.
The list of apps and descriptions that appear above Konsole for me are (order
matches what I see):
- Picmi (Logic Game, from KDE)
- Visual Studio Code (VSCode, I made this .desktop file using KMenuEdit)
- KSpaceDuel (Space Arcade Game, from KDE)
- CMake (Cross-platform buildsystem, part of the `cmake` package on Arch Linux)
- Qrca (Barcode Scanner, from KDE)
- Bomber (Arcade Bombing Game, from KDE)
- Kate (Advanced Text Editor, from KDE)
- KAppTemplate (App Code Template Generator, from KDE)
- Audex (CDDA Ripping, from KDE)
