The autocomplete feature in the search bar

Post by Buntschann »

In the search pane (Ctrl+F), for example, when searching for both the uppercase ‘M’ and the lowercase ‘m’ (with ‘Case sensitive’ ticked, of course), if you try to type the lowercase ‘m’ after searching for the uppercase ‘M’, the autocomplete feature kicks in and automatically enters the uppercase ‘M’.
You can search for ‘m’ by clearing the history or by typing something like ‘Mm’ and then deleting the ‘M’, but this is fiddly and inconvenient.
Could you add an option to disable the autocomplete feature in the search bar?

Hello, Buntschann

Thank you for the report, I have reproduced the issue and passed it along to the Dev team for review. I do expect this will see a fix, though I cannot be sure in what form, or how long it may take.

Kind regards,
