Description John Arthorne CLA 2011-01-18 16:18:57 EST 
(Steps assume you are self-hosting and have the webide source code indexed in your workspace)

1. Pop up the "Open resource" dialog.
2. Search for "openresource". I expected 2 results, but get 0.
3. Change the query to "OpenResource". Now you'll see the results:
- OpenResourceDialog.js
- OpenResultsDialog.html

In general we should perform a case-insensitive search, possibly changing to to case-sensitive if the user enters a mixed-case search term. (This is the approach currently taken by the Find feature in the editor)

I did some initial investigation and this is surprisingly complicated in lucene/solr. Essentially we can do "always lowercase" or "always case-sensitive" search quite easily. But, this decision is made at indexing time rather than at query time, so it can't change on the fly. Apparently the typical strategy is:

- Index contains two copies of each record: fully lowercased, and original case
- The query selects whether they are searching the lower-cased or original-case field:

q=Name:OpenResoruce*
q=LowerName:openresource*

In the latest orion.eclipse.org, if I Ctrl+Shift+F in the Navigator and type "textView", I get no results. "textview" shows results. I expected to see textView.js in both cases.

Yes just looking at that now. Looks like a bug in solr: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-219

I will put in a workaround for this.
