History: Fuzzy-filter: prioritize word-boundry matches #100590

Description

@JacksonKearl

Suggestion: fuzzy filtering can prioritize matches at word starts, as IMO it's more likely for someone to be typing from a wordstart than a random substring.

For instance, here I'm typing the first part of actions, but other things come first.
in this case I'd expect either apply-changes or actions to be at the top, followed by the other.
