Search is not case-insensitive #3670

I was wondering why searching for "alldispatch" on mailarchive just brought up one message: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/alldispatch/

After a while, I realized that the search might be case-sensitive. But it's not, because searching for "Alldispatch" brings up messages containing "ALLDISPATCH" as well: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/search/?q=Alldispatch

So what is it and can we make this more intuitive? My proposal would be (fully) case-insensitive by default and enable case-sensitive searches via the "advanced search" dialog.

Search queries are case-insensitive. When only one search term is given and it matches a list name the result is all messages for the named list, a browse feature. Quoting the term will result in a broad search for the term across all lists. Maybe the UI can be improved in this scenario.

So are mailing list names matches case-sensitive? Because searching for "alldispatch" should otherwise have brought up all messages? That'd IMO be counter-intuitive.
