Description
Hi! Is this a bug or intended behavior?
The search succeeds only if the search text is typed in lower case (the result does not matter, it can have characters in upper case too):
Shouldn't typing in capital letters also be supported?

Trace the search entry point and determine where case handling differs; the issue is done when equivalent searches work regardless of capitalization and the behavior is covered by an appropriate regression check.
