### Problem Description

When using the *program* plugin to start a program, I encounter an issue where my search string is not found as I would expect it. Given a shortcut to a program named `metis Client Prod (cprod)`, I cannot select it by typing `cprod`, as I would expect, but only if I type `(cprod`.
