The confusion likely stems from the relatively new introduction of the capitalized ẞ https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fes_%C3%9F

Maß capitalized (used to be) MASS.

Funnily enough, Mass means one liter beer (think Oktoberfest).

Both Maß and Mass are valid spellings for a liter of beer ;) Not to confuse it with Maß, which just means any measurement, of course.

It's strange, because I would expect "maß" as the case insensitive search to match "MASS" in the search text, but "mass" should not match "Maß".

I think all of those should be "tentative matches" for each other.
