Feature description

Add the option to have app searching list by 'exact match' first instead of list order.

As an example:
Say you have the apps Life360, Spotify, and iFunny installed. Currently, beginning a search by typing in if will bring the apps up in alphabetical order:

Life360 Spotify iFunny 

Using the same search of if would instead bring the results up as follows with this change:

iFunny Life360 Spotify 

Prioritizing iFunny because it matches the search exactly, then showing other apps that also contain if somewhere in their name. My reasoning is that if the user intends to search for the other two apps, they would begin their search with either li or sp respectively instead of if, and thus do not need them as the first results in the list.
