matches

MicroSoft.re

doesn't. I'm not sure if nuget is case sensitive but intellisense for package matching should use something like case insensitive Levenshein distance metrics. It's easy to forget the exact name of a package and even remembering the exact prefix of a package can be easy to get wrong. Then you have to go hit google to find the right name.

Steps to recreate

(1) edit a csproj file.
(2) insert a package reference
(3) start typing the name of the package but with spelling mistakes and case errors
(4) visual studio should still suggest close matches.
