Details:

Today I recognized that intergrated search for documentation via GUI tab is
case sensitive. E.g. when looking for pre-defined constants via "constants"
(gloabl search), you do not get the proper results (>> 17.9 Mathematical
Constants), as the section title is upper case. 

IMHO a bad choice for search, especially for global search.
I'd suggest case-insensitive, or make it a setting to choose.

Regrads,
Toby
