### Describe the Bug

Symbol search for class names gives really bad results compared to vanilla VScode

Compare symbol search in Cursor with regular VScode, exact results are not shown in Cursor

I would assume that symbol search should give exact same results

MacOS

Also getting this. Often it doesn’t show a class at all, or it is way down in the results when it would be at the top in VSCode
