User(s) can reproduce this bug
In PowerShell, everything is case-insensitive by default (a good choice if you ask me).

But the F8 key that searches the command history for a command starting with what you have typed (feature inherited from CMD) does a case-sensitive match (just like CMD ;-)... not convenient at all 'cos you must remember whether you typed Get-Process or get-process.

Please make this case-insensitive.

Always Happens

Have you seen this problem before in this product?

I don't know if this issue existed previously
Reproduction Steps
Type the following in a PowerShell console:

Get-Process<enter>
ls<enter>
g<F8>

Nothing happens when you print F8 because 'g' doesn't match 'Get-Process'
Expected Results
The 'g' should match 'Get-Process' and the 'Get-Process' command should be recalled.
