## Case sensitivity
Code search is case-insensitive. Searching for `True` will include results for _uppercase_ `TRUE` and _lowercase_ `true`. You cannot do case-sensitive searches. Regular expression searches (e.g. for `[t][H][i][S]`) are also case-insensitive, and thus would return `This`, `THIS` and `this` in addition to any instances of `tHiS`.
By default, code search is case-insensitive. Searching for `True` will include results for _uppercase_ `TRUE` and _lowercase_ `true`. You can do case-sensitive searches by using a regular expression with case insensitivity turned off, for example `(?-i)True`.
