One example provided by Jan Keromnes relates to this issue:

Open devtools on (source) devtools, control O then type 

extensionA

The only item is:

DevToolsExtensionAPI.js

But it's puzzling to a user who is looking for 

ExtensionAPI.js

Two solutions:

1) Only match case on explicit upper case letters.
   In the case above we have three hits, ExtensionAPI.js, ExtensionAuditPanel.js and DevtoolsExtensionAPI.js

2) Change the highlighting to only highlight the letters that the user typed, not the regex generated under the covers. 
   In the case above the highlighting would be
DevToolsExtensionAPI.js
_e_______xtensionA_____

rather than the current
DevToolsExtensionAPI.js
_evToolsExtensionA_____

I think this would direct the users attention to the lower case 'e'.

Not a major issue for me and a separate bug in any case.
