First, my gcloud --vesion output:
Google Cloud SDK 425.0.0
bq 2.0.89
core 2023.03.31
gcloud-crc32c 1.0.0
gsutil 5.21
Next, a GCloud command line that is doing case sensitive filtering:
gcloud compute images list --format="table(name,description)" --filter="description:server"
I've got the wc utility so I can easily show how using a capital Server in the filter returns more results:
gcloud compute images list --format="table(name,description)" --filter="description:server" | wc
10 145 1297
gcloud compute images list --format="table(name,description)" --filter="description:Server" | wc
56 818 7713
The main documentation on this, gcloud topic filters, specifically the section that link jumps to, "key : simple-pattern", says that the case is always insensitive.
I'm wondering if there may be OS issues here?
(the OS where I'm running the SDK)
Or if there are GCloud settings I can set in my "user"?
Or is this a setting managed by my organizatizon?
More details:
gcloud compute images list --format="table(name,description)" --filter="description:server"

See how the above Ubuntu entries matching "server" are also in the below results -- it is because those descriptions have both words: "server" and "Server".
