## Message

```
file_finder: Prioritize file name matches over path matches (#27937)

Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/27936

Adds additional comparison after the existing history-based comparison.

This comparison checks whether the first position matched via fuzzy
search is in the file name. If so, we prioritize this match over one in
the path. If both items match either the file name or the path, the
existing comparison logic is used.

Release Notes:

- Fixed an issue where fuzzy matching in file finder did not properly
prioritize matches in file names.
