Description
The following REST requests seem to yield the same result:
https://test.openml.org/api/v1/data/list/data_name/anneal
https://test.openml.org/api/v1/data/list/data_name/ANNEAL
Meaning that the search results on the data name are case insensitive. (Due to mysql).
- Can we document this somewhere?
- will we guarantee this for the future?
