Hi,

I have a search box that is searching data saved in capitals, as a result it appears that the data wont be found if the search is in lower case. Is it possible to make the search’s input uppercase only?

What search are you using ?

Using “contains” seems to work regardless of case.

And I can put it in a Search box too …

Interested in what the issue is, as was playing around with searches.

I was using a normal search box and then display an address (in a text field below) linked to the search query ( in this case the id assigned to the address).

I found it was easier to just use an input and then ‘upercase’ the input.

Yes, that is the way to fix if you have issues, although I think some searches ignore case. We looked at this a while back and it seemed inconsistent. May have another look.

How did you “uppercase” the input? I have the inverse issue, I want an input to convert all letters tu lowercase while righting on it.
