Allow searching for initials?

from Stardock Forums

I don't really know how this feature works in the default search, but I did use it for 2 apps: Grand Theft Auto V (I'd just write gta) and Visual Studio Code (vscode)

Perhaps it's an exception list of some sort, but maybe initials could work for Start11? Might be confusing so if anyone could suggest something else on my end, would work too

I know it's not what you asking for, but try entering the first three letters for what your searching. For example, "vis" or "gra" and see what search returns.

That and I don't believe the native start menu has such an idea of abbreviations either.

Yes, I am doing that now, but I am already so used to searching these terms that I just wanted to give the suggestion anyways

Doesn't seem like it, because it doesn't happen with many other programs from my testing, still seems odd having GTA and vscode match the correct programs

I suppose I can make extra shortcuts for them... Oh well.
