: Are regexp advanced filters in Google Analytics Site Content reports supposed to be case sensitive? When I apply a Matching RegExp advanced filter to a standard Site Content > All Pages report,

When I apply a Matching RegExp advanced filter to a standard Site Content > All Pages report, the regular expression seems to be ignoring case sensitivity. The screenshot attached shows a very simple example - a search for 'Search' returns results including 'search'.

My understanding was that regular expressions were case sensitive unless specified otherwise. In Googling for answers I found lots of docs that say that Analytics regexp matching is case sensitive, but that doesn't seem to be true for me.

Am I misunderstanding something or are regular expressions in these reports not actually case sensitive by default? Is there a way of making it case sensitive?

Thanks in advance!

Case sensitivity — Regular expression matching is case-insensitive.
