I have added a flash card of name Albus Dumbledore,

I tried searching albus instead of Albus, and ended with no matching flashcard.

Since UG, did not specify, i presumed the search will be case-insenstive.

This is expected behavior.

Users do not have reason to assume a field is case-insensitive unless specified in the UG.

The default is case sensitive for the following reason: One may want to search for certain acronyms like' WHO' which is very different from the meaning of 'who' - the user would not want the flashcards with 'who' to appear. Case is sometimes important information when one is searching for something specific.
