This may be minor, but is largely annoying, especially since I can't map search from_user_id's to user_id's because of #214. Basically, if I do users/show the user_id might be ABCD, but in the search, from_user_name could be AbCd. I know I can just compare to the lower case versions and whatnot, or even store all them in the database as lower case, or even create a trigger on the table and cover them magically, but it still is frustrating. |

Here's a few screen names that behave like this: Wikichipi, KRATOS123, twopac, Juanmcazorla, copywriting, and many more. It seems like the case goes in both directions, for example, copywriting is lower case in the RESTful API, but 'Copywriting' in the search API, whereas 'KRATOS123' in RESTful API, but 'kratos123' in search API. I'm guessing it's due to them changing the capitalization of their name? p.s. s/from_user_name/from_user/ from the original Issue |

This will be corrected as part of the V2 changes. Closing this issue but referencing the request on the V2 roadmap at http://apiwiki.twitter.com/V2-Roadmap so we can keep the Google Code issue list with only current issues.
