Description

### Checks

- [x] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

- [x] I am using the latest version of Flow Launcher.

- [ ] I am using the prerelease version of Flow Launcher.

### Problem Description

Hi there,

I've noticed that sometimes when I open the launcher, it will return multiple names of the same program. I noticed this with Notepad, and also with another program called Zight. There may be more, but those two I just came across.

Not too sure if this is actually a bug, or some type of a misconfiguration on my part?

### To Reproduce

1. Open Flow Launcher
2. Search for a program

Not sure why or if this only occurs for specific apps.
