Description

The current word splitting in the mnemonic search overlooks some expected cases when splitting words, such as CamelCasing, which makes it clunky to use.

For instance, AnalogsVoltage_PCE_VCC would not be located by searching for Voltage. However, searching for just V would pick it up due to VCC and the V in Voltage would be marked as part of search match (see below).

Expanding the above search to Vo would result in the result getting dropped from the results list

Research direction

Start at the mnemonic search word-splitting entry point and reproduce the examples with AnalogsVoltage_PCE_VCC, searching for Voltage, V, and Vo. Done means expected CamelCase and underscore-separated matches are found and the matched characters are highlighted consistently.
