This issue has been migrated from #3116.

Description

It's hard to find the text you need in languages other than English as case becomes important.

Steps to reproduce

  • in a non-English room try to search for a word in lower and upper case
  • the results would be quite different
  • searching for an English word in upper and lower case shows the same result

Also, here the FTS language is hardcoded as English so no stemming is supported for other languages. I propose lowercasing the event text before inserting it and do the same on querying.

Version information

  • Homeserver: own homeserver
  • Version: 0.27.4
  • Install method: package manager
  • Platform: Debian 9.4 on a VDS
