Search Hashtag dropdown shows case sensitive, but results are case insensitive....

Problem to Solve

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I don't use the hashtag inserter, so just type them. so when I do search hashtag, the drop down shows me all the permutations of cases that I have typed in (not what I want), eventhough the matches are case insensitive (which is what I want).

Can we have the dropdown dedupe case sensitive variations?

Also (and I can open another ticket for it) - it shows you all the #'s on the page where it finds one, e.g. search #todo_GG, the results show #abc.... and in some cases a lot of #'s that are comments in scripts. Can we have an option to only so matched #tags? In reality I won't ever want to see the other hashtags, but I can see some people might.

I believe showing all tags on the page was a user request a while back. But I agree, adding a checkbox to enable/disable would make sense.

And what kind of lunatic types "todo_gg" in different casing?! That's just crazy. ;-)

So, the Hashtag Dialog does have a case-sensitive toggle button for exactly that reason. Users do want case sensitive searching. And that works as-is.

Given different forms of the same tag, I'm not sure what to do with that anyway. Do we just take the first one we find? Do we normalize them to a single lowercase representation? I think leaving it as is might be the best approach. You can always use Search and Replace to normalize them yourself.

Just to be clear - they all mean the same thing.
