[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Case sensitivity in title search

[Elaine Hardy]

I checked the search on Thorndike's OPAC -- which retrieves the same record
regardless of case. I did look at the MARC record associated with the
record, even though I didn't expect there to be anything that would affect
a case search since we don't code for that. There was nothing unexpected in
the record as viewed through the OPAC.
