Default Search is Case-sensitive

I go to contributor mode and try to choose an image. A window that contains alll the image content items show up. I type the name of the content item (an image) in the small search text box on the top right side of the window.
It seems that when I enter a value in the text box, it performs a Case-Sensitive search. Is there a way I can make this case-insensitive search. For eg; Let us assume that we have a content item called 'IM_ABOUT_US_ICON'. if I enter 'im' in the text box, I do not get any result. But, if I enter 'IM', I get all content items that starts with 'IM'
Thanks

BI BEx & WAD F4 Search: How to search non-case sensitive

Dear Colleagues,
is there meanwhile a better and comfortable solution for this problem, or have'nt changed anything since "How to... Search non-case sensitive" paper from 2003.
Thanks and regards,
Wolfgang

Hi Gerhard,
I quote from OSS note 914303 :
The BI search requires the TREX Server as of 7.0 Support Package 06 or higher. If the search engine is not fully installed, you can still use the standard search that the system carries out in the database. However, as a result, the search takes longer, <u>it is case-sensitive</u> and it does not support the search for attributes.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Olav

Any help is greatly appreciated.

How to ... Search non-case sensitive?

Hello,
prior to SAP NetWeaver 2004s we implemented the How to Guide "How to ... Search non-case sensitive" in SAP BW 3.5.
This solution is no longer valid in BI 7.
Does anybody know how to implement a non-case sensitive search in SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI?

Gerhard

Making search non case sensitive

Hi,
I have implemented a search help which I have copied from standard help ‘PREM’. I have created a Database view, taking that View I have created an Elementary search help and I have assign the elementary search help in the collective search help ‘ZPREM’ which is copied from ‘PREM’. In the search help I have two fields (NACHN, VORNA), which are case sensitive fields.
How to make it Non Case Sensitive?

Hi ,
without checking "Lower Case" , any case(upper/lower) u are entering will be converted to upper case internally and the respective data will be displayed .
With checking the lower case check box in domain , u will get the exact case data in which u have entered .
but if ur requirement is like , if u enter a* in VORNA FIELD and it should display
a*
A* - ie. all the names starting with the both 'a' or 'A' , then
You can go for Search Help Exit . Inside the function module catch the entered name and select required records from DB as per ur requirement and insert result into RECORD_TAB[] internal table , having standard search help result list .

Firefox CTRL+F Search bar searching with Case Sensitive

is this only for me or all ?
Fiefox search bar is working with case sensitive.. if i type in capital.. it is only showing the results with capital.
for example. Type "vishnu" in search bar. it will only show you the small vishnu below.
VISHNU vishnu
is it a bug ? or is it a feature ? if it is a feature, i want to disable it :(

You can remove the check-mark on Match Case if you open the Find bar via Ctrl+F (Edit > Find).

Search without case sensitivity??

I am trying to create a search function that displays a report based on the search. I have the following query:
select
date_participated "Date Participated:",
highschool_attended "Highschool Attended:",
attending_college "Attending College:",
college_attended "College currently attending:", participate_intercollegiate "Participating intercollegiate:",
what_sport "What Sport:",
what_position "What Positions:",
financial_help "Financial Help:",
financial_help_kind "Financial help kind:",
additional_comments "Additional Comments:",
name_and_address "Name and Address:"
from bcombine_survey where HIGHSCHOOL_ATTENDED like NVL(REPLACE(:P3_Highschool|| '%','0',NULL) ,'%');
My first question is:
1. How can I make that query so that it is not case sensitive.
2. Can i create a query that will search the database for any string that the client puts in? For exanple, if a highschool is named Athens and the client searches for "thens" I want it to pop up the Athens.

Hi BlackMamba11
Try something like:
WHERE UPPER(MY_VARCHAR_COLUMN) LIKE '%' || UPPER(:P3_MY_TEXT_ITEM) || '%'
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Patrick

Search help case sensitivity(ZKREDI)

Hi Gurus!
I would like to add a new field KVERM (Account memo)
to the elementary search help ZKREDI.So I added the
field KVERM to the search help parameter and added
that field in teh selection method Z_KREDI too.
The search help is showing me the selection criteria
and when I put the value it shows as per teh selection also.
The only problem is with teh case . When I put in my selection
any lower case character it says no values for this selection
but at teh same time when I put the upper case chaarcter
like N and do the selection it displays the output list.
Is theer way I cane make this field selection in my search help
also case 'INSENSITIVE' if possible .
Thanks

Not unless there is another filed in LFB1 which is an upper case translation of KVERM. (That's how some of the other search helps work.)

Nokia 2630 contact search is case sensitive... is ...

Hi
I have a Nokia 2630 since last summer and I find it really annoying that I need to manually toggle between upper-case (for the first character) and lower-case (for the rest of the word) when typing a search in the contacts. Do you know if there is a way of avoiding this? I know that it would work if all my contacts were written in upper-case but that is not the case (and don't want to change that) moreover when the standard entry for a new contact automatically toggles the first letter in capital and the rest in lower-case....
Thanks for your help, experts!!

Business Partner search (case sensitive)

I create a Business Partner with the following details
FirstName - Vikram
LastName - Chandna
When i search the created Business Partner via Tcode-FPP3 by name, the
search is case In-Sensitive(i.e Font case doesn't matter)
But, when i search the same in the Database table-BUT000 directly or in
the SAP Query/Reports , the search is Case-Sensitive.
Why?
Thanks & Regards,
Gagan

Hi Gagan,
The field BU_SORT1 in Table BUT000 which is for search option has data type as Character without Lowercase.If the Lowercase option (in the output characteristicks) is ticked in the table, the sytem will allow you to search based on Lowercase as well.

How do I make search case sensitive

I created a search region of type "query" using a simpleSearchPanel. The instructions say the search is case-sensitive when running the page but it appears it is not. Can anyone tell me how to make the search case sensitive?

Please check if you have followed these guidelines
Rule 2 : If your view attribute is of type String(VARCHAR2), and if the item has the Selective Search Criteria property set to false, then OA Framework generates a case-insensitive simple WHERE clause based on the CRITERIA_CONDITION and the CRITERIA_VALUE.
Rule 3: If your view attribute is of type String(VARCHAR2), and the item has the Selective Search Criteria property set to true, then OA Framework generates a case-insensitive WHERE clause using a four-way join to ensure that the index is used.

Can Search help in Web Portal be made so that it is NOT case sensitive?

We have a number of reports that users access via the web portal. Most of these reports have a variable selection screen that appears so that users can pre-filter the report before executing it. When the user selects search help on any of the variables and attempts to search the text values, the search is case-sensitive. But we have some data stored all caps and some data stored mixed case, so this isn't very convenient for the user. I would like to be able to set up the search window so that the searches are not case sensitive. Is there a global setting that can accomplish this, or can the search page be customized? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I have the same issue. There was a fix in 3.5 using function module RSA_CHA_BUILD_QUERY however this doesn't exist in 7.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Search User Page - Case Sensitivity Problem

Hi,
While searching users according to the criterias like user's firstname or lastname, the search is case sensitive.
Is there a way to make incase sensitive search?
Thanks.

I would say a no for it because at the back-end the findUsers() API is getting called for which the value is a String Object. So its always case insensitive according to me.

Case sensitivity in Oracle Text

I am familiar with the mixed_case parameter, and in my setup it is set to no, so all searches are case-insensitive. This is what I want 95% of the time, but is there a way to specify (at a query level) that a contains search is case sensitive?

Hi,
Would be nice, but the tokens are converted to uppercase on indexing. For example:
SQL> create table test (col1 varchar2(20));
Table created.
SQL> insert into test values ('MixEd cAsE');
1 row created.
SQL> create index test_idx on test(col1)
2 indextype is ctxsys.context;
Index created.
SQL> select token_text from dr$test_idx$i;
TOKEN_TEXT
CASE
MIXED
So, since they are actually stored/converted to uppercase there is nothing case-sensitive for your query to compare to.
On the flip side, if you index case-sensitive, the tokens are stored mixed-case.
SQL> drop index test_idx force;
Index dropped.
SQL> begin
2 ctx_ddl.create_preference('mylex', 'BASIC_LEXER');
3 ctx_ddl.set_attribute('mylex', 'mixed_case', 'yes');
4 end;
5 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> create index test_idx on test(col1)
2 indextype is ctxsys.context
3 parameters('lexer mylex');
Index created.
SQL> select token_text from dr$test_idx$i;
TOKEN_TEXT
MixEd
cAsE
Now you can do something with your query to make it do what you want. You'd have to check performance to see if it is worth it.

How to make oracle is case insentive ( not case sensitive)

SqlServer by default is NOT case sensitive (data content) while Oracle by default is case sensitive (data content).
please help me to give the solution
How to make oracle is case insentive ( not case sensitive)
if there is anyway to make Oracle behave like SqlServer changing NLS settings or any other Oracle settings?
I have solution for application level . it is working fine
Possible solutions:
1. You want to store data case insensitive: do an 'insert...
values(upper('Abcd'))...'.
This will put your data in upper case into the tables.
2. Your data will be mixed-case and you want to select them case
insensitive:
create 'function based indexes' on every column you want to use in
your where-clauses.
Then 'select ... where <column_name> = 'ABCD'.

What version of Oracle? Oracle 10g has a capability that can toggle this feature on and off at the session level. Prior versions do not.
For prior versions you usually have to make use of the upper and/or lower functions in your queries. Sometimes a function based index, FBI, is used to handle this.
