Incremental search should prefer beginning of words

Submitted by Lukas

Link to original bug (#766626)

Description

It's very likely that users will be using the incremental search feature in the file chooser like they used the old typeahead. I.e. it's more likely to type in the beginning of a file/directory name than some part in the middle. Ordering/selection of search results should reflect that.

Simplified artificial test case: Create folder with these files: "afdhbcjgdfhgjdhfgj" "bc"

Navigate to his folder, type "bc" into the search, note that the first file gets selected.

Version: 3.20.x
