Hi,

When searching commits (by which I mean the "find" feature), sometimes
relevant entries are missed which should have been selected. I reported
this to Debian as bug #969197 ([1]).

I gave an example in the Debian bug report of searching the VLC
codebase for commits adding/removing "set_capability" (exact; all
fields). While 888451fe5146a49de8d49e830dbe57dd478e358f was one of
those found, the adjacent
commit 46650ad3f7f92d2757c43b42aa170965dc1df25c was skipped, despite it
being entirely relevant.

Changing to IgnCase makes no difference.

I'm a Debian Linux user, running version 1:2.28.0-1.
