Bug Description

Test case:
1. Start with a fresh system
2. Open the dash, type in Sound (or locale equivalent) and run the Sound preferences 4-5 times
3. Close the dash
4. Open the dash, type in Sound
   -> The "Sound" application should be the first one appearing

===

There are some cases where the popularity sorting is not working correctly - this seems to be connected to the way we do bins when applying the popularity sort.

As an example - searching for "sound" always puts "Sound Recorder" as the first result, even though "Sound" is used more frequently, same goes for "office", the order changes once you go from "offic" -> "office" and we don't want that.

(this is caused by "Sound recorder" having a relevancy of 100 and "Sound" just 99, therefore they get into different bins and popularity is not taken into account)
