Powershell: [PowerShell 7 Preview 3] Typing commands with different casing returns different suggestions

[alexandair]

This behavior exists on both, Windows and Linux.

For example:
Windows: Compare the suggestions for get-wineven and Get-WinEven
Linux: Compare the suggestions for get-even and Get-Even

I'm not seeing this on my system. 🤔

Both casing variants tab complete to Get-WinEvent for me.

I'm not talking about tab completion. :)
I'm talking about suggestions when you mistype a command:

PS C:\> get-wineven
get-wineven : The term 'get-wineven' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Suggestion [4,General]: The most similar commands are: Get-WinEvent, New-WinEvent.

PS C:\> Get-WinEven
Get-WinEven : The term 'Get-WinEven' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Suggestion [4,General]: The most similar commands are: Get-WinEvent, New-WinEvent, Get-Event, Get-ASREvent.

Ahh, gotcha.

@SteveL-MSFT something to do with the string similarity algorithm, perhaps?

Fix pulled.
