Description
If I have not previously opened an existing split that references Alien: Isolation typing the name
"Alien isolation" into search field without the colon the drop down list shows only a few games narrowly (see screenshot)
If I type "Alien: Isolation" with the colon added then the drop down list and the remove it. It will then let me see all games alphabetically starting with "alien" correctly:
This activity seems to happen only if I 'cold start' without a split already open and type in the game name.
If there is a split it shows up correctly no matter if the colon is present or not.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the cold-start search in LiveSplit with “Alien isolation,” then compare it with the behavior after opening an existing split and with the colon included. Trace the game-name search and initial list-loading path. Done means Alien: Isolation appears correctly when searching without the colon after a cold start, without regressing searches from an open split.
