"I just searched for jobs that match my skills, and you were one of them" also sounds fair enough to me. However, when it comes to choosing between a candidate who scrambles for anything and someone who has at least some interest or knowledge of the company's business, the company will always choose the latter, and they will be right, and you would do the same in their place. If you force yourself to lie to get into the latter category, that's on you, not on them.
