Description of the new feature / enhancement

Take in consideration whatvever a result was previous searched for, and put it at the top of the result list.

Scenario when this would be used?

Say I search for a a file or for a executable, let's say winscp:
image

The application winscp is not listed so I continue writing winscp.exe
image

Now it finds the executable but is not recognized as a application probably due to path. After I select it and run it, I would like that the next time when I type winscp, the result to be on top of the list, taking in consideration that was previous searched for and accessed.

Supporting information

I would build a list in witch I will store the successful searches, like a dictionary where the key is the keyword and the value is the object path that was accessed using that keyword. Then I will first search in this list, maybe not applying levenshtein to this keywords.
