Bug 2572

Summary: case sensitive switch is inverted, in Extended searches

Windows 7 x64

I'm able to repeat this and send screenshots if necessary.

When I set up extended searches and leave the "Case sensitive" box unchecked, it is passing the "matchcase" parameter.

When I check the box, which should then mean that the search becomes case sensitive, it then passes a simple "match" parameter.

If I'm not mistaken this should be reversed.  Or...  ?

This may be misleading indeed, but is following the POSIX functions naming, like strcmp (case-sensitive) strcasecmp (case-insensitive) and their friends.

As we're geeks we won't change that :-)
