What version of ripgrep are you using?

ripgrep 15.1.0

How did you install ripgrep?

Homebrew

What operating system are you using ripgrep on?

macOS 15.7.4

Describe your bug.

--type should be case-insensitive or at least have an option to

rg -g '*.htm' will search in 1.HTM when --glob-case-insensitive is provided
rg -t html won't

and it's highly illogical. file extensions originally came from case-insensitive filesystems, so in a random codebase you can see both *.HTM and *.html, they're the same. but somehow the uppercase versions are not searched when using --type and that's terribly wrong.

basically that's the intention of the --type: search in all of them: *.html, *.htm and *.HTM, because the user isn't sure, which one to search. in this logic searching *.htm, but not *.HTM just doesn't make sense!

What are the steps to reproduce the behavior?

I'm using macOS with a default, i.e. case-insensitive filesystem. I do:

$ echo AAA > 1.HTM
$ echo AAA > 2.htm
$ alias rg
rg='rg --smart-case --glob-case-insensitive --no-heading'
$ rg -g '*.htm' AAA
# this matches both files:
2.htm:1:AAA
1.HTM:1:AAA
$ rg -t html AAA
# and this only the lowercase one:
2.htm:1:AAA

What is the actual behavior?

$ rg -t html --debug AAA

What is the expected behavior?

$ echo AAA > 1.HTM
$ echo AAA > 2.htm
$ rg -t html AAA
2.htm:1:AAA
1.HTM:1:AAA
