Split out from #561 per @dmtrKovalenko request.

What

Adds fff::CaseMode { Smart, Sensitive, Insensitive } and a new optional case_mode: Option<CaseMode> field on GrepSearchOptions. Adds GrepSearchOptions::effective_case_mode() to resolve the effective mode.

Non-breaking

The legacy smart_case: bool field is preserved. When case_mode is None, the existing boolean is used (true => Smart, false => Sensitive) — identical behavior to before. New callers that need Insensitive set case_mode = Some(CaseMode::Insensitive).

No public function signatures changed. Default still emits smart_case: true, case_mode: None. Existing consumers (fff-c, fff-nvim, benches, tests) compile unchanged.

Why this shape

The original PR #561 changed smart_case: bool to case_mode: CaseMode directly, which is a breaking field change for anyone constructing GrepSearchOptions. This PR adds the new API alongside the old one so #561 (and future consumers) can adopt case_mode without a major version bump.

How verified

cargo check -p fff-search passes. Internal call sites in grep.rs route through effective_case_mode() so behavior is preserved when only smart_case is set.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Updated
    • Renamed the grep matching option from case_mode to casing across live grep, content search, configuration, and documentation.
    • Supported values remain smart, sensitive, and insensitive.
    • Explicit casing selections continue to override smart-case behavior across plain-text, regex, and multi-pattern searches.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved consistency of casing behavior across search methods and integrations.

  • Added case_mode: None to every GrepSearchOptions construction site across fff-c, fff-mcp, fff-nvim, fff-python, and the integration/fuzz tests so cargo check --workspace --all-targets is clean.
  • Exposed case_mode to neovim lua: new optional grep.case_mode = "smart"|"sensitive"|"insensitive" in lua/fff/conf.lua, plumbed through live_grep FFI in crates/fff-nvim/src/lib.rs:435 (parsed into Option<fff::CaseMode>), lua/fff/picker_ui/grep_renderer.lua:34, and M.content_search opts in lua/fff/main.lua:304.
  • Legacy smart_case boolean still works; case_mode overrides when set, matching effective_case_mode() semantics.

README update for the new config option not included — flagging for @dmtrKovalenko since per CLAUDE.md new neovim config options should be documented there. Want me to add a section?

  • smart_case field marked #[deprecated(note = "use case_mode instead")].
  • effective_case_mode() is now private (fn instead of pub fn); only used internally in grep.rs.
  • Trimmed the case_mode doc to a single line.

cargo check --workspace --all-targets clean (only deprecation warnings on legacy callers, expected).

[triage-bot] DIRECTED: pushed 19c5018.

CI failed because RUSTFLAGS=-D warnings promoted #[deprecated] on the legacy smart_case field into hard errors at every existing call site.

  • Wrapped the few first-party constructors in fff-core/src/grep.rs (Default + 2 in-module tests) with #[allow(deprecated)].
  • Crate-level #![allow(deprecated)] on fff-c, fff-nvim, fff-python (lib.rs/finder.rs) — they still set smart_case from the FFI/PyO3 boundary intentionally.
  • #[allow(deprecated)] on make_grep_options in fff-mcp/src/server.rs.
  • Module-level #![allow(deprecated)] on every fff-core integration test, fff-nvim bench, and fff-nvim binary that constructs GrepSearchOptions literally.

RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo test --workspace --exclude fff-nvim --no-run and cargo clippy -- -D warnings both clean locally.

@gustav-fff you should change all the internal occurances to be using new option - WTF?

[triage-bot] DIRECTED: pushed 2ce2a51.

Converted every internal GrepSearchOptions { ... } literal to case_mode: Some(CaseMode::Smart) and dropped the smart_case: field name from internal sites. Boundary FFI (fff-c, fff-nvim lua, fff-python) still accepts smart_case: bool from external callers but translates to CaseMode before constructing the options struct.

  • Removed every #![allow(deprecated)] and #[allow(deprecated)] added in 19c5018. Only one remains: Default for GrepSearchOptions in crates/fff-core/src/grep.rs, since Default must initialize the deprecated public field by name. effective_case_mode() also keeps a local allow because it reads the legacy bool to honor old callers.
  • 20 files touched: 8 fff-core integration tests, fff-core grep.rs in-module tests, fff-mcp server.rs, 2 fff-nvim benches, 4 fff-nvim bins, fff-c lib.rs, fff-nvim lib.rs, fff-python finder.rs.
  • RUSTFLAGS=\"-D warnings\" cargo check --workspace --all-targets clean for all library/bin crates. Two pre-existing dead_code errors in crates/fff-nvim/benches/{query_tracker,fuzzy_search}_bench.rs reproduce on main unchanged — unrelated to this PR.

@dmtrKovalenko Hi, could this please be prioritized? Doing a case-insensitive search is a huge boost to search relevancy, when searching across repos containing multiple languages

Adds fff::CaseMode and an optional GrepSearchOptions::case_mode that
overrides the legacy smart_case toggle when set. smart_case is kept and
behaves as before (true => Smart, false => Sensitive) so existing Rust,
C, Python, MCP and Lua callers are unaffected.

Wires case_mode through the nvim FFI as a trailing optional string and
exposes it as config.grep.case_mode and content_search opts.case_mode.

Rebased #609 onto main after the grep.rs module split.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change renames case_mode to casing across grep APIs and implementations. It adds Casing resolution, preserves smart_case fallback behavior, updates option constructors, and adds casing tests.

Changes

Grep casing support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Core casing resolution
crates/fff-core/src/grep/*
Defines Casing, resolves explicit values with smart_case, and applies casing to plain, regex, and multi-pattern searches.
Public casing API
lua/fff/*, README.md, crates/fff-nvim/src/lib.rs
Renames the public option, documents its values, maps values to Rust, and forwards the result.
Option constructor updates

Casing integration coverage
crates/fff-core/tests/*
Updates test helpers and verifies precedence plus plain, regex, and multi-pattern casing behavior.

Invalid casing configuration silently changes search behavior to the legacy smart-case setting. This is bounded but should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Validate case_mode before the bridge.

M.live_grep merges opts.grep without validation. M.content_search validates only the options table. Both paths forward invalid case_mode values to Rust, where unknown values become None and use smart_case.

Use vim.validate() and reject values other than "smart", "sensitive", and "insensitive" before opening the picker or calling grep.search. Cover the live-grep resume fallback as well.
