While the uppercase ẞ exists in German orthography (btw it does not in de-CH Switzerland) the ⟨SS⟩ uppercase replacement and even the ⟨ss⟩ lowercase is still commonly used, especially if the letter ⟨ß⟩ is not available and the uppercase ⟨ẞ⟩ is even less used. Additionally in Swiss Standard German it is "⟨ss⟩ usually replaces every ⟨ß⟩". Also, many software applications convert a lowercase ⟨ß⟩ to uppercase ⟨SS⟩. Finding those variants when searching case-insensitive seems logical to me. However, not finding uppercase ẞ when searching for lowercase ß case-insensitive, and vice versa, is a bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
