Description
### Microsoft PowerToys version
0.99.1
### Installation method
PowerToys auto-update
### Area(s) with issue?
Command Palette
### Steps to reproduce
1. launch command palette
2. type a number
3. use an arithmetic operator
4. type another number
5. first recommendation isn't calculator which is stupid
6. for me it is either excel (last app opened) or folder search
### ✔️ Expected Behavior
Calculator should be first result because I am obviously doing maths. requiring the = to trigger the calculator makes this incredibly inferior to powertoys run
### ❌ Actual Behavior
recommend dumb results

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior in Command Palette with a numeric expression and without typing “=”. Trace how results are ranked for that query and compare the calculator result with recently opened apps and folder search. Done means the calculator is the first result for arithmetic input, with coverage for the reported reproduction.
