[Bug?]: ScopeSearchToAssembly includes assemblies which also start with the same assembly name

[just-ero]

Steps to reproduce

1. Load two assemblies where one begins with the same name as the other; i.e. FooAssembly.dll and FooAssembly-Other.dll
2. Search for a type or member name which matches in both assemblies.
3. Scope the search to FooAssembly.dll via inassembly:FooAssembly.

Expected Behavior

Only results from FooAssembly.dll are be displayed.

Actual Behavior

Results from FooAssembly-Other.dll are also displayed.
This is relevant for example when decompiling a Unity game's Assembly-CSharp.dll where results from Assembly-CSharp-firstpass.dll are also displayed.

While I can see your point, I think this is by design, since everything uses sub-string matching by default. Maybe we would need something like inassembly:=FooAssembly to denote whole-string matching?

I don't think new syntax is the solution; personally I can't even remember our existing syntax.

Different idea: adjust the sorting of search results, so that exact matches are preferred.

Or maybe allow including the file extension inassembly:FooAssembly.dll, that way it wouldn't match FooAssembly-Other.dll.
