From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.0-test1 i686; en-US; m17) Gecko/20000807 BuildID: 2000080712 The text for the the Search/Find dialog is ambiguous, to me at least. "Match upper/lower case" suggests either that upper must match upper and lower must match lower (case sensitive) or that characters typed in will match upper or lower (case insensitive). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Look 2. 3. Expected Results: Maybe just say "case sensitive?"

In the future, hopefully we will have stuff for matching diacritics and all sorts of other minor variants of characters which occur in particular writing systems. So whatever we do should be forwards-compatible if possible. I suggest `Exact case' (see bug 7930).

From bug 66696: "match upper/lower case" is ambiguous because it suggests that _either_ could be matched. a much more concise way of saying "case sensitive" would be "match case".

Suggest to move OS field from Linux to all. Furthermore I am not sure that the dependency on 7930 is true. I think the bug can be fixed without fixing the other one. Can this be checked? This seems like a trivial bug that could be quickly corrected. Today, there are only 7 references to upper/lower, as shown by this URL http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/search?string=upper%2Flower http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/help/resources/locale/en-US/composer_help.html#318 http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/help/resources/locale/en-US/composer_help.html#335 http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/help/resources/locale/en-US/nav_help.html#555 http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpfe/components/find/resources/locale/en-US/finddialog.dtd#6 http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpfe/components/find/resources/locale/en-US/replacedialog.dtd#6 http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/l10n/langpacks/en-DE/chrome/en-DE/global/locale/finddialog.dtd#5 http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/l10n/langpacks/en-GB/chrome/en-GB/global/locale/finddialog.dtd#5 But I guess that there may be other locales to fix and/pr that the search I've done on LXR may bot be perfect.

Changes text to "Match Exact Case" for both the find and find&replace dialogs. Only works for en-US. I think the rest is up to the localization people.

Ahh, I didn't see what you meant in the last post. This patch changes the text for all of those locations, except for the non-en-US ones. Sorry `bout that.

I think that the dependency is sora unrelated, that this will fix this current dialog, and if they redo the dialog, they can still use this patch, I guess, I only changed DTD's and help files. If someone special could check this out i'd be very nice. There's not alot to review, no code, it's mostly just a matter of if it should be changed or not.

This bug has existed for nearly three years now, with a year-old patch that hasn't been accepted, and this still trips me up whenever I need to search for something. What's the status on this thing?

(In reply to comment #14) > (In reply to comment #13) > > incredible. it seems so trivial. I just got confused by this too, and wanted to file a bug report, but found out the deficiency is already known since 5 years. FC4 Mozilla 1.7.10 still shows Match upper/lower case, which I interpreted as upper OR lower case. A bit of a sad story.
