Quick Search seems to be case-sensitive for umlauted characters, while
case-insensitive for normal ASCII characters (a-z, A-Z).

When I use Quick Search ("Subject or sender contains") for searching for
messages, I need to perform the search twice when the word I search for contains
umlauted characters (or perhaps also accented characters, haven't tested).

Example:

When I search for "aly", it matches both "aly" and "Aly".
When I search for "Aly", it matches both "aly" and "Aly".

That's OK.

When I search for "äly" (a with an umlaut: ä), it matches only "äly".
When I search for "Äly" (A with an umlaut: Ä), it matches only "Äly".

That's not OK, since I have to search twice.

Reproducible: Always

Yes. I was referring to searches in IMAP folders.
So, let's mark it as dupe for now. Please reopen, if bug 284856 will be fixed
and you'll still see this bug.
