Description

Wikidata search for L:Anna matches many lexemes (due to their forms containing "anna" or "Anna") but it would be nice to only match the "proper noun" ("Anna") versions with upper-case first letters. That could be handled either by case-sensitivity in the search or by limiting the match to only lexemes with lexical category "proper noun" (Q147276).

Hmm, another strange case is search for L:Kelly - the 3 current matches are for L404650, L361948 and L230178, none of which seem to have the string "kelly" in them. So there's some sort of stemming going on here in addition to the case insensitivity, which would be nice to be able to avoid if possible.
