I have the same question π
Useing the search forums, I found this topic but read the last post: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/9704/page/2?replies=43#post-139661
The search function in WordPress isn’t case sensitive at all. It would take quite a bit of work to make it case sensitive, actually.
Otto42, you are really helpful :-S
When some one needs a sugestion/advice/help, an constructive one, don’t just waste your time or his time with empty words… you follow me? π
… sevendotro, he answered your question. WP Search is NOT case-sensitive. There were no empty words there.
How more helpful could I possibly be?
The question is how to make the thing not case sensitive.
The answer is that it’s really not case sensitive in the first place.
Really.
Honest to god, no fooling, it’s *not* case sensitive.
If you think it is, then please, prove me wrong. Show me an example. Then I’ll really delve into it and try to solve your problem.
Really.
But at the moment, nobody can answer your question, because the question itself is invalid. You can’t even make the search case sensitive in the first place, without quite a lot of effort. So the easy answer would be don’t put in that effort to make it case sensitive.
What more do you want? Blood?
Guys, my english sux big time, I know that π and this is the big problem because I can’t find the words to explain the problem.
Take a look, pls:
ex. 1: http://www.iubescbrasovul.ro/?s=Taxe
then
ex 2: http://www.iubescbrasovul.ro/?s=taxe
“Taxe” and “taxe” It’s the same word, but WP dosen’t see the similitude.
This is the problem.
PS: I like green tea π
What happens if you disable that search plugin you installed earlier today?
Hmmm.. I don’t see how that’s possible. The only way I can figure is that the database is using some other language and a case sensitive collation in the process. However, I don’t know enough mySQL to deal with that easily.
There’s nothing in WordPress to make it case sensitive. It has to be the database somehow.
It dosen’t matter if I disable the search_pages plug-in or not because it’s the same effect.
I will see about the mysql settings and thx for your understanding π
My team colleg eyecon from http://www.iubescbrasovul.ro has change the data base from ‘latin_bin’ to ‘latin_general_ci’
Search works fine π
Thx guys for your sugestion π
Glad you got it sorted out. Could you mark this thread as “Resolved”? (pull-down menu at the top of the page).
Happy blogging!
Sorry HandySolo, but I can’t make theard as “resolved” because the topic was started by DavidSWP π
