Problem to solve
Searching for tags in a project should be case insensitive.
This is the Tags parallel for gitlab-ce#35199.
Further details
This is essentially similar to gitlab-ce#35199, but for tags:
When filtering tags using the branch name someone has to remember exactly how a specific name of the tag was written.
Example: I worked on a feature about user interactions, I remember that in my team we used
interactionin the branch name but I don't remember which of its letters where capital ones. To find this branch through GitLab using this 'keyword' I would have to try different combinations of it to find the tag. It would just better IMHO if the search would just be case insensitive as git seems to have problems with case sensitivity as well.
Proposal
- Open GitLab and open a Project
- Go to Repository->Tags
- Using the field 'Filter by tag name' start typing a branch name but with the wrong letter casing
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
The search result should be case insensitive. Currently, only exact case matches are shown.
