Description
Hello
It seems for some reason we cannot use regex to match a capital letter like [A-Z]. I tried to match a capitalised word but it does not seem to work.
Is this a bug?
Thank you

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported failure in Notepad++'s regex search using [A-Z] against a capitalized word. Record the Notepad++ version, search settings, input text, and expected versus actual result before locating the relevant search code or tests; done means the behavior is understood and a regression test or confirmed fix exists.
