Make Branch Compare website case insensitive

Feedback manjaro.org

You need to type lower case on the Branch Compare website or else it doesn’t find anything, this is not good as nowhere is it advertised you need to type lower case. Even if it was advertised, it would not be good, just convert to lower case the text input, or make the backend search ignore case. Example Branch compare for Manjaro

Arch package guidelines - ArchWiki

All letters should be lowercase

Thanks for making my point. There is no need for the search to be case sensitive.

Yes, i noted that too. The old one was not case sensitive, this one seems to be.

I am a believer in using lower-case for all search terms; there is no need for anything else as this just makes it so much harder for people to use “search terms” so being case-insensitive is the way to go (some people forget about the CapsLock key being activated).

An A should be interpreted the same as an a, and vice-versa. Same letter; just different case. IMHO. :smile_cat:

… Unless you’re programming on a Commodore 64 etc… :wink:

Hi, I’m the website developer and just fixed it. Thanks for pointing out this. To be honest, this was done on purpose when I created the tool but I can’t remember the reasoning (or think now of a good reason to do the search case sensitive). I had forgot about this “feature” and that is why is was not fixed/changed before…

Note: I’m not a Manjaro dev. They decided, at least for the time being, to use my project instead of maintaining one. You can open issues or suggest changes in the project’s Gitlab page.
