[EuiComboBox] Support for case sensitive labels

[snachiap]

How to make it possible to have case sensitive labels in EUI Combo box. for our use case, we need to have a combo box where users can search case sensitively and currently combo box does not accepts labels with different case as shown in the picture.

Is there any other component which can be used instead?

Yes you are right. Currently the EuiComboBox normalizes each option's label to make searching easier since case-insensitivity is the most-likely scenario. We will keep this ticket open as a feature request to add case sensitivity. However, there is no other component except for EuiSelectable that does list searching and EuiSelectable uses the same normalizing function.

#2199 relates to this. If EuiComboBox accepted a custom search/match function, you could define case sensitivity as you'd like.
