 Description   

Our search currently is case-insensitive. That's actually a must and I don't want to discuss this.

What I'd like to propose that search should work case-sensitive if I use case in the search term. That's a forgiving, but still powerful basic search variant.

So, if you do use upper case letters in the search term, those would get respected. As an example, image we have the following list of items:

  • anything Apparent
  • action
  • Action
  • Action bar
  • ACTION

With this list, a search respecting case in search terms works like this:

  • type "action" and get "ACTION", "action", "Action" and "Action bar"
  • type "Action" and only get "Action" and "Action bar"
  • type "ACTION" and only get "ACTION"
  • type "a" and get everything
  • type "A" and get "Action", "Action bar", "anything Apparent" and "ACTION"
