Describe the issue

I noticed that when I clicked on the genre Science fiction on one of my books it only then returned 7 results.

But I knew I had more books with that genre. So I went and looked up a book that should have been on the list, then I saw that book had the genre but it was with capital S and F and not a small f Science Fiction

When I then click on this genre I get the result I was expecting.

So we have an issue with case sensitive genres and tags.

I also noticed that I could add the same genre and tag twice using lower and uppercase spelling.

Here I have Fantasy and fantasy and both return different results when clicked.

Maybe a fix from https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/1198 to not allow the same genre and tag be entered twice?

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Click on genres or tags with different combinations of lower and upper case spelling and the results will be different.

Audiobookshelf version

2.4.4

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

@advplyr this is now fiixed for a long time, now also supporting non-ascii case-insensitivity. Let's close?
