Description
This is specific to Eclipse (it works much better in VSCode).
When tying serverpor, the list of proposals looks counter-intuitive. The proposal for server.port shows up, but before, there are a number of other proposals in that list that contain the characters, but should be ranked a lot lower.
This seems to be the case when there is no . typed in the editor. When the user types server.por, the list looks much better.
Another example:
springtaskshows up with a weird ranking of proposalsspring.taskshows up with a nice ranking of the proposals

Research direction
No source file or test is identified in the issue. First reproduce the Eclipse content-assist behavior with serverpor versus server.por, and with springtask versus spring.task; done means proposals containing the typed characters are ranked sensibly without requiring a dot.
