[Google Chrome] Update fuzzy search to allow for less precise input

Description

Add the ability to modify the search algorithm used for searching (primarily an issue with bookmarks) to be more in line with the behavior of tools like fzf.

Current Behavior

I currently have a bookmark named Jira - Mine 📍(Chewy) [AP1]. When I begin typing jira I see it pop up in the list:

I'm expecting that when I continue with typing mine it would resolve to the bookmark but it doesn't seem to match.

Expected Behavior

A quick test with fzf on the command line shows the expected behavior.

With the following in test_files.txt:

Jira - Mine 📍(Chewy) [AP1]
testbookmark 3
someOtherBookmark

and running the following command cat test_files.txt | fzf we can resolve the bookmark name with just jira mine.

Who will benefit from this feature?

All users searching for bookmarks (and potentially tabs). This would allow them to get better results without have to specify search terms in the exact order.

Anything else?

I don't think they're duplicates but I do believe they are related to the same root issue (which is that Raycasts default filtering is, in my opinion, broken).

A fix for this could be implemented by using custom filtering logic. I could try taking a look at this later.
