487085 - Case-insensitive searches fail to find non-case-matching results for some searches

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: MXR, defect)

Description

[Phil Ringnalda (:philor)]

I'm guessing that the "some" is a matter of length, though I don't actually know. A search for "brand" with "Case sensitive" unchecked returns results including both "brand" and "Brand", but a search for "brandshortname" with "Case sensitive" unchecked returns no results, even though a search for "BrandShortName" with "Case sensitive" unchecked *does* return results. I'm betting on bug 482075.
