> Expected: U+0394 Δ is not found That's not intuitively correct. Why is that the expectation?

How will we distinguish that case from when they are used in genuine Greek text?

I don't see anything actionable here. All letters have different meanings in math depending on case, so it doesn't makes sense to nitpick on delta. Consider "o(N)" and "O(N)" - would that be a reason to claim that case insensitive search for "o" shouldn't match "O"? Delta is no different.
