MediaWiki v1.4.0, MySQL v4.0.21...
I have NO entry in my cur table with cur_title="De Ossibus".
I do have a cur table entry with cur_title="De ossibus"
Yet, entering "De Ossibus" in the search box and clicking Go takes me
to "De ossibus"
A little experimenting shows that, if I create a page with the title
"The new york times", entering "The New York Times" in the search box
and clicking Go will take me there. But, if I make any of the letters
besides the first upper case, such as "The new York times", then I have
to match the title exactly by case to get to the page.
I thought the titles were supposed to be completely case sensitive, but
it seems as though they are sometimes but not others.
Is this supposed to be the normal behavior? If so, is there a reason
why it works this way? If not, is this a known issue or has anyone else
experienced this behavior?
