Description of the new feature / enhancement

It would be great if WW search were expanded to match title info out of order, particularly in a sequence where you have multiple windows open with different titles and could easily move to the window you want with a search of:

[App] [words_in_window_title]

Scenario when this would be used?

Let's say I have multiple Microsoft Word files open. At present if I launch CP and switch to WW and enter word I would see something like this:

Yes I can easily key up or down to either of these docs, but I'm already typing in search. If I could simply add part of a word in one of the titles of those documents, I just press enter and move on. As it is, when I add additional wording from the document's name the results turn to a zero match:

調査方針
First, locate the Window Walker plugin code in the PowerToys repository (likely under src/modules/launcher/Plugins/WindowWalker). Examine the existing search/filtering logic, specifically how window titles are matched against user input. Currently, it likely uses a simple substring match. Modify this to support token based out of order matching: split both the query and title into tokens, and check that all query tokens appear in the title (ignoring order). Consider using a trie or other data structure for efficiency. Ensure the change does not break existing functionality and add tests if present. Review comments from the issue for any additional context.
