Looks it looks at Name and/or GenericName in the .desktop files. Here:

# cat /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-writer.desktop | grep -E '(.*Name=|.*Name\[en.*\]=)'
Name=LibreOffice Writer
GenericName=Word Processor
GenericName[en]=Word Processor
GenericName[en_GB]=Word Processor
GenericName[en_ZA]=Word Processor
[...]

So if it takes GenericName before Name it of course doesn't see "LibreOffice Writer" but
"Word Processor". And also note "office" and "writer" don't even appear in Name (not the
case), no idea whether the search is case-sensitive, though.

# cat /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop | grep -E '(.*Name=|.*Name\[en.*\]=)'
Name=Archive Manager
Name[en@shaw]=𐑸𐑒𐑲𐑝 𐑥𐑨𐑯𐑩𐑡𐑼
Name[en_CA]=Archive Manager
Name[en_GB]=Archive Manager

So at least the second one is expected.
