Case-insensitive user name search does not work for Russian characters

[cavabanga26]

The client can not find the user when the "Start Chat" button is pressed, if the first letter does not registry match. The problem is only in Russian, the English is all right.

For example, in the database there is a user "Ivanov".
When a user searches for "Ivanov", the client finds a match, but the user with the small first letter "ivanov" will not be found.

Hi @cavabanga26 - I've modified the issue title - I hope that's accurate.

Have the same problem, seems fix may be very easy. Can anybody point me to right place in Riot code, where this search is implemented?

User Directory Search is done server-side so in Synapse over the API: https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.0#post-matrix-client-r0-user-directory-search
