Description
Describe the bug
When I search for an instrument and type in some characters, the return instrument list contains instruments which do not match my search criteria as the full text string in the instrument dialog is included in the search.
In MU3 only the instrument name was used for searching.
Example, when I search for the clarinet, you start by type cl. At this point you also get all instruments in the list which have the "treble cleff" indication in the list.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Start a new score
- In choose instruments, type cl in the search box
Expected behavior
Only search in the instrument name.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue from the Choose Instruments dialog by starting a new score and searching for “cl”. Trace the dialog’s search entry point and check whether matching uses the full instrument text or only the instrument name. Done means results for “cl” exclude instruments matched only through indications such as “treble clef”.
