Description

This is a quality-of-life issue for UE users. The issue was also detailed by the UDN user in a video in the linked UDN case.

The Blueprint Editor provides an "Override Function" functionality in the "My Blueprint" tab. When clicking on it, a list of overridable functions is presented, and the displayed entries can be filtered by typing in a search box.

Much like in other Function/Property lists in the Editor, the function names are displayed in a more user-friendly way, by converting CamelCase and snake_case names into properly spaced and capitalized names.

However, unlike other Function/Property lists in the Editor, the filter does not match a CPP/BP function authored in CamelCase or snake_case when the search is performed by typing the exact original spelling of the function. Only the display name matches correctly. This means that one cannot author a function "MyFunction" and then search for it by typing "MyFunction" in the box, and must type "My Function" instead, which can often be confusing.

Steps to Reproduce
  • Create an Actor Blueprint "BaseActor" and a child blueprint "ChildActor"
  • In "BaseActor", create a function "MyFunction"
  • In "ChildActor", click the "Override Function" button and search for "MyFunction". There is no match, which is unexpected.
