Screenshot: search for "find" - way below the default top 10 red line cut-off

SUMMARY
The search result for man-pages is usually hidden under a pile of rubble in
alphabetic order.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. search the man-page for "find", "sort", "uniq", "cp", ...
2. extreme examples are the man-page for: "read", "ls", ...

OBSERVED RESULT
Even though they are pretty useful and commonly used standard commands, they
don't make it in the top 10.

EXPECTED RESULT
If the search term exactly matches a command, shoot it's man-page to the top.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There is an easy workaround by typing "#find" into krunner/Kicker/K-Menu - it
will suggest a URL "man:/find".
Even if khelpcenter is already running it will abandon the currently shown page
and immediately jump to the desired man-page.

krunner got a similar prioritization e.g. bug 314199
