Proposed Changes

Currently the API documentation shows the following for expressions to be used on strings:

ie - case sensitive exact match
nie - negated case sensitive exact match

Both of these should documented as insensitive exact match and not sensitive. Proposed change (which this issue take more time than the fix) is to change the description from sensitive to insensitive. i.e:

ie - case insensitive exact match
nie - negated case insensitive exact match
