Here is a better version, and a test for it.

Now we select the shortest regex match, so we favor correct consecutive characters, and we break ties by selecting the shortest strings. Eg if the choices are

AStringClass.js
String.js
NotMatched.js
ZStringClass.js

and the search is "String" we pick String.js.

For scale-ability we only select among the items in the viewport. I think this is ok, it will only matter for cases with lots of nearly identical entries.

I'd look into the issue of CamelCase matching if we had a test case....
