1054580 - Awesomebar queries are case sensitive.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Awesomescreen, defect)

Description

[Chris Kitching [:ckitching]]

While there's work elsewhere to fix the way Awesomebar does queries to be both case insensitive and avoid an expensive table scan, we don't need to wait for that before gaining case-insensitvity.

In fact, all that's necessary for case-insensivity is a PRAGMA change:
http://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_case_sensitive_like

Enable that and your awesomebar queries stop being case sensitive. If we're doing a crazy expensive table scan anyway we might as well do it nicely.

This might be worth doing if we want an improvement to Awesomebar sooner than the free text indexing stuff can be completed.

Aaand I misread the documentation. This defaults to *in*sensitive.

... So why are awesomebar queries case-sensitive?

Another mystery for another time, it seems...
