Steps to reproduce:
A lot of desktop entry files use an abbreviated name of the program as the filename of the .desktop file.
For example, GNU Image Manipulation Program (most commonly called GIMP), cannot be launched from ulauncher with the query "gimp" by default. Instead, to run gimp in ulauncher, you need to search for "GNU Image...". Other launchers will use the desktop entry filename as a means of searching for a program, and I think that this functionality is important out of the box.

Ulauncher version: v2.2.1r0
Linux distro: Debian 9
Desktop environment: Openbox
