Description

Type: Bug

Search something in the global search with match case off, eg. wifi.
Expected results: All variants of wifi: WiFi, wiFi, Wifi, wifi.
Actual results: Nothing shows up.
Only when I search exactly for WiFi I get results back. If match case is off it should return all results regardess of capitalization. Only if match case is on I expect the results to be exactly how I typed.

VS Code version: Code 1.132.0 (df53daabb18cd157bdb08c7f01c34df936cf12f4, 2026-08-04T15:30:20Z)
