Make searches case-sensitive?

Make searches case-sensitive?

Opened this issue 6 years ago · 7 comments

I'm a new user and I can't see how to make the searches case-sensitive. Have I missed something?

Answer 1 · 2019-02-12T22:34:18.000Z

Hi @paynterf it is case-sensitive by default. For example, try to search for wordpress and WordPress. Have you got some wrong result?

Answer 2 · 2019-02-13T03:04:57.000Z

Danil, Yes. I was searching/replacing A_circ (cap A with a ^ on top) and it also found/replaced a_circ (small A with a ^ on top). In any case, there doesn't seem to be a setting (at least not one I could find) to choose case-sensitive or case-insensitive. Regards, Frank

I tried search for A_circ and replace it with word A_replace. What I got:

Row	Column	Old value	New value
1	post_content	... `A_circ` a_circ Welcome to WordPress. This is your first p...	... `A_replace` a_circ Welcome to WordPress. This is your first p...

I will take a look how it works in such case at code level.

Danil, I meant I was replacing A-circumflex (0xB6) with a space (0x20) and noticed that it also replaced a-circumflex (0x83). In any case, as I mentioned before, there doesn't seem to be a way to select case-sensitive vs case insensitve behavior Frank

Hi @paynterf
Have you checked the database entry, is this item, the string in this syntax inside the database? Maybe it is conversion issue, unicode topic?

Answer 6 · 2019-02-19T04:03:54.000Z

Sorry - I'm not familiar with any databases associated with the search/replace plugin; I was just trying to use it to clean up some garbage characters inserted into my content as a result of a move from one host provider to another. Frank

Please try only a search via plugin. If you find entries with this syntax please use the preview to see this syntax inside a raw of a table. Maybe you can copy/paste it here to validate this part.
