+:::{note}
+Character range classes such as `[a-c]` do not behave as expected when using `case_insensitive: true` — they remain case sensitive. For example, `[a-c]+` with `case_insensitive: true` will match strings containing only the characters 'a', 'b', and 'c', but not 'A', 'B', or 'C'. Use `[a-zA-Z]` to match both uppercase and lowercase characters.

+This is due to a known limitation in Lucene's regular expression engine.
