I'm not sure we can call this a bug or fix it. This is in direct conflict with bug 947283 which complains about getting hits on "Save as" before "Save". In order to resolve that bug we prefer shorter terms with fewer words, so that's exactly what you're seeing here.

imho, "sh" is a far better match for "Shutdown" than for "Show only glyphs..." and the situation is very easily resolved by you pressing one more extra letter. In the other situation, what would you do to indicate that you really wanted "Save" rather than "Save as"?

I think the only way that we could fix this without breaking the other case is to penalise indicator results much more heavily than we do now, but then we could get into a worse situation: it being impossible for indicators to get the first spot because they are drowned out by only-vaguely-matching items from the application.
