Filter bar in Merge Request Analytics is case sensitive

When typing search queries into the filter bar, the query fails if the user does not use the exact same capitalization than the label. Even worse, the UI makes it look like the filter bar actually recognizes the label the user meant and displays it with correct capitalization and color, leaving no way for the user to recognize the problem.

I experienced this myself first hand and was blocked by this for multiple days without knowing what's wrong because our entire UI makes it look like everything is going as expected, just the results are not showing up, I had just expected we were having trouble with the number of merge requests, so I'm assigning this one severity1 based on our severity table as it most closely aligns with the following statement:

"I can't figure this out." Users are blocked (or so confused that they believe they are blocked), and are likely to ask for support.
