Case sensitivity

Hello everybody,


Finally, I have started playing with the refdb and it is very very
nice. I wish I had it when I was writing my thesis.

Anyway, it seems to me that when a comparison of text field is made
with ~ (or probably with ^ and $) the comparison should not be case
sensitive. That is if I search with

:TI:~basing

I should get enteries containing "basing" and "BaSinG" on the output.
I think it would greately improve the search.

THis is done for some of fields (AU for example) but for the title it
is not. I would think, searches of alphanumeric fields should be case
insensitive. One may argue that even = and != operations should not
be case sensitive.

What is the view on this topic? What is the common approach?

Thanks,

Lazar
