Description
### Proposed solution
`string_match` method for `FuzzyQuery` should ignore case by making both pattern and value being matched against lowercase.
### Objective
#### Goals
Make fuzzy searching... *fuzzier*. I don't see a scenario where one would want a fuzzy search but care about capitalization.
Alternative would be to make this behavior toggleable in the config or to have a different prefix for case sensitive vs case-insensitive fuzzy matching.
#### Non-goals
N/A
#### Anti-goals
This could result in unexpected behavior if a user depends on capitalization during fuzzy searching, but I don't see why one would.
