"Libre" finds LibreZalc
SUMMARY
I have two desktop shortcuts to launch LibreOffice with different parameters.
They have different names, and one of them has a `GenericName=`:
```
~/.local/share/applications$ ls -1 *ibre*
'LibreCalc 24.desktop'
'LibreCalc 25.8.1-2.desktop'
'LibreCalc 25.8.1.desktop'
$ cat LibreCalc\ 25.8.1.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=
Exec=/apps/LibreOffice-25.8.2.2.AppImage
Icon=libreoffice-calc
Name=LibreCalc 25.8.2.2
[...]
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=
$ cat LibreCalc\ 25.8.1-2.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=
Exec=/3t/apps/LibreOffice-25.8.2.2.AppImage
GenericName=Slow ZZZZZ
Icon=libreoffice-calc
Name=LibreZalc 25.8.2.2
[...]
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true
X-KDE-Username=dan2
```
Searching for `Libre` brings up only one of these shortcuts.
Searching for `Calc` brings up the other.
Both searches bring up the other LibreCalc shortcut that matches (LibreCalc
24.desktop -> "LibreCalc 24.8.7.2")
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create the above .dekstop files in /.local/share/applications
2. Refresh the menu (`kbuildsycoca6`)
3. Search for "Libre"
OBSERVED RESULT
Out of the two shortcuts, only "LibreZalc 25.8.2.2" is shown.
EXPECTED RESULT
Both "LibreZalc 25.8.2.2" and "LibreCalc 25.8.2.2" should be shown.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 25.04

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Same result in krunner.
