Hi!

My custom nori analyzer uses a nori user dictionary that contains Korean, English, and a mix of Korean-English words. These words are very technical so there was a need to put them in my user dictionary. However, with the mix of Korean-English words, if the capitalization of the English words do not match that of the capitalization of the word in the user dictionary, the analyzer fails to look up the term in the dictionary.

eg, if the dictionary has the word:

```auto
한-neu

```

But if you search for:

```auto
한-Neu

```

The analyzer fails to find the word.

There hundreds of thousands of these words in my user dictionary so it will take a long time to take into consideration the capitalization of all the words.

Is there a way to adjust the user dictionary so that the terms in the dictionary are case-insensitive?

Thank you!
