Subject: bug#21148: 25.0.50; Huge problems with case-insensitive search
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2015 10:44:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <86pp3chdsh.fsf@example.com> (raw)

As you can see on the screencast http://screencast.com/t/nq7xkfJiy,
case-insensitive [1] searches are becoming very fuzzy to me.

Sample text file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Let's search for all case-insensitive occurrences of "workingd"...

#+begin_src shell :var workingDir=(file-name-directory (buffer-file-name))
# No init file.
cmd="$EMACS -q -l ${workingDir}.init.el"
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Recipe:

- Incremantally search (with `C-s') for "workingd"

Problems:

- While point is at the beginning of the buffer, and while the string
  "workingd" exists in the buffer, Isearch tells me from the start that
  it fails finding my pattern!??

- As the search is case-insensitive, `C-s' should allow me to cycle
  between the 3 strings found (1 "workingd" and 2 "workingD"), but it
  finally only finds the exact match "workingd".

Note -- Anzu correctly reports me (in the modeline) that there are
        3 found strings...
