Bug Description
* Impact
The document filter is case sensitive which is confusing/not convenient
* Test case
- Open a document with an Uppercase letter
- close it
- click on 'open' and type the name with an Uppercase
-> it should list the document
* Regression potential
The code change is in the filtering code, just test that.
-------
When clicking “Open” and typing to search the recently opened files, any search involving uppercase letters fails to return any result, even if files with uppercase letters in their file names have recently been opened. Searching for the same file names, but using all-lowercase letters, does yield results (see attached screenshot). So it seems that gedit converts the recently used file names to lowercase before comparing to the search term, which is incorrect.

Can confirm using Ubuntu 18.04 and gedit 3.28.1.
This needs to be reported upstream as probably not an Ubuntu issue.
