CASE


Use the CASE modifier with the WORD or WILDCARD operator to perform a case-sensitive search, based on the case of the word or phrase specified. The CASE modifier is not valid with the SOUNDEX and STEM operators.

To use the CASE modifier, you simply enter the search word or phrase as you wish it to appear in retrieved documents - in all uppercase letters, in mixed uppercase and lowercase letters, or in all lowercase letters.

For example, to retrieve documents that contain the word "iMac" in mixed uppercase and lowercase letters, you would enter:

<CASE> <WORD> iMac

Only those documents that contain the word "iMac" will be selected. Occurrences of "imac," "Imac," or "IMAC" will not be selected.

When mixed uppercase and lowercase characters are included in a query, the search engine finds case-sensitive matches.
