1158759 - MDN search should be case insensitive (Searching on "addEventListener" has terrible results)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1153797

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Search, defect)

Description

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

Searching on MDN should be essentially case insensitive (although perhaps there are use cases for case-sensitive search, I don't know what they are).

For instance, searching MDN for "addeventlistener" (in all lower-case) has terrible results. The main document for this is https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener but this search results in that page not showing up until #14 -- halfway down the second page of the results.

That's a terrible user experience, and is essentially hiding the proper documentation from the user, who has every reason to expect the doc to be on the first page.
