Details

Unless I've got the syntax wrong, it appears that regular expressions are case-insensitive by default in dxr (see e.g. https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?q=regexp%3Aclickh&redirect=false ). I would argue that this is counter to most developers' expectation regarding the behavior of regular expressions.

DXR is no longer available. Searchfox is now replacing it.
See meta bug 1669906 & https://groups.google.com/g/mozilla.dev.platform/c/jDRjrq3l-CY for more details.
