Explorer Search Case Sensitive?

The search functionality in Explorer is case sensitive. Is there a way to make the search functionality be case insensitive?

Hi Karen,
Thanks for the reply. This isn't about Bex though it is about Business Objects Explorer. I originally posted this in the Other Business Objects forum but a forum Admin moved it here because they said I had posted to the wrong forum. It was in the correct forum to begin with. If SAP were more thoughtful about how they named products they would not have created this confusion by renaming Polestar to be the same name as an exisating product.

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.

Is a Full Text Index search case sensitive or not in SQL Server 2012?

I setup full text index on my contact table and am attempting to run a search on it using the following query:
SELECT *
FROM sysdba.Contact C
WHERE CONTAINS(C.FirstName, 'Test')
OR CONTAINS(C.LastName, 'Test')
The problem is it's clearly running a case sensitive search. I did a quick search to find out how to change it to be case in-sensitive and found two pages (both for SQL Server 2012) with conflicting answers:
1 - MSDN - "Query with Full-Text Search" - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms142583(v=sql.110).aspx
Case sensitivity
Full-text search queries are case-insensitive. However, in Japanese, there are multiple phonetic orthographies in which the concept of orthographic normalization is akin to case insensitivity (for example, kana = insensitivity). This type of orthographic normalization
is not supported.
1 - TechNet - "Full-Text Search (SQL Server)" - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms142571(v=sql.110).aspx
Full-text queries are
not case-sensitive. For example, searching for "Aluminum" or "aluminum" returns the same results.
Can someone please explain this? Is it possible to do it without it being case sensitive? If yes, how?
(Sorry, I couldn't make those links b/c TechNet hasn't verified my account)
Thank you for your time and help,
Hanan

Whats the collation setting for the columns? try using a case insensitive collation as below
SELECT *
FROM sysdba.Contact C
WHERE CONTAINS(C.FirstName COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, 'Test')
OR CONTAINS(C.LastName COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, 'Test')

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.

Select statement to search - case sensitive

Hi all,
I have to do a search on the field BSTKD_E for table VBKD. However that field is case sensitive. We do not know what the users will input to do a search, therefore I need to search regardless of whether it is in uppercase, lowercase or mixed. I understand that it can be done by EXEC SQL. But besides this, any other method?
We are using MSSQL now but will be migrating to DB2 soon. I heard that the EXEC SQL is server dependent. Is it so?
If yes, can somebody help me to code the following to be native SQL for MSSQL and DB2? (Actually hope not to use this method)
SELECT fvbeln fposnr INTO TABLE lt_vbeln
FROM vbkd AS f JOIN vbup AS p ON fvbeln = pvbeln AND
fposnr = pposnr JOIN vbak AS k ON fvbeln = kvbeln
WHERE fbstkd_e in lr_po_num AND pabsta NE 'C' AND k~auart = 'ZOR'.
Thanks in advance.

How to get Case Sensitive Check Box at Search Page

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to get case sensitive check box at the bottom of the search page, for that we have to set any propert or we ahve to do anything else.
Please Help!!!!
Thanks,
Amit

Have never really thought of it. One thing you need to do is set the Case Insesitive Searching Option correclty in PeopleTools Options. I can't find any other setings. But it might have to do with the fields that are on your Search record. My guess is if any of the Search Fields are of type Character and format Mixedcase then the Case Sensitive check box will be displayed automatically.

Case sensitive and case insensitive Search

Hi friends,
     Iam doing an Search RFC which will search records based on the search parameters provided at the portal side.
One of the search parameter is a field with 40 character which holds the description(title) of the record.
With this search paramter iam facing case sensitive problem.
Example:
Values in Database Table: ( Can be in any case)
       Record 1: Sensitive
       Record 2: SENSITIVE
       Record 3: SensTive
       Record 4: sensitive
       Record 5: sensTive
     Input to RFC: sens*
     Output: Getting only 4rth and 5th record but not all the records.
       The same is the case with the remaining search parameters(Like user name..).
       Is there any way of getting all the records when searching from the data base (with case insensitive).
       Kindly let me know if there is any possibility.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Swarna Munukoti.

Generally, no. So, you'll either have to use EXEC SQL, or add more fields to the table. You can do this using APPEND structures, which is the SAP approved way of adding fields. If there are suitable user exits in the standard SAP code, then you'll be able to populate the additional fields there, as new records are created, or amended.
Alternatively, create your own Z table with the same key as the standard table and a "search field" which contains the uppercase version of the field you're wanting to search. You can either, again populate in suitable user exits, or, in worst case, have job that runs regularly populating your Z table.

You say your "backups still turn up corrupted now and then" - how do you know? Is it only when you try to access them that you will know this?
Sometimes a backup will fail, sometimes you can't access them, sometimes you'll get this message:
See #C13 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for details.
And by this stage is it too late to recover anything?
Sometimes. Sometimes they can be repaired by Disk Utility. Sometimes only a heavy-duty 3rd-party disk repair app like DiskWarrior ($100) can fix them. Sometimes nothing can. Sometimes you can restore some individual items, sometimes not. Sometimes you can do a full system restore from some backups, other times not.
does it help that I am using a Gigabit WIRED connection between iMac - 10/100/1000 switch - Airport Extreme Base Station?
Probably -- you won't have WIFI interference.
But if you have an iMac, why not just connect the external HD directly to your Mac? That's much faster and more reliable (and supported).
You'd need to erase the disk in that case, since Time Machine won't bother with a sparse bundle at all on a direct backup. Just format the disk as GUID, with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and let 'er rip!

Case Sensitive problem in Select Option for wild card search

Hi,
Can anyone please let me know how to make the wild card search in any select-option non case-sensitive. What I mean by this is for eg. we want to find out all the POs with short text containing the word 'process', what we do we populate a range with OPTION = 'CP' and LOW = 'process' and select EKPO with short text in this range. This select is however case-sensitive and POs with short text containing 'Process' is not retrieved. But my requirement is that this should be non case-sensitive and both the POs should be in the result set.

Hi,
Hope this helps you
CS:
You can select characters in operand2 for a direct comparison by adding the escape symbol "#" before the required characters. For these characters, upper/lower case is taken into account, wildcard characters and the escape symbol itself do not receive special treatment, and trailing blanks in operands of type c are not cut off.
Covers Pattern: True, if the content of operand1 fits the pattern in operand2. Wildcard characters can be used for forming the operand pattern, where "" represents any character string, and "+" represents any character. Upper/lower case is not taken into account. If the comparison is true, sy-fdpos contains the offset of operand2 in operand1, whereby leading wildcard characters "" in operand2 are ignored if operand2 also contains other characters. If the comparison is false, sy-fdpos contains the length of operand1.

Query Variable: F4 search by Text is case sensitive in Web Templates.

Hello Guru's,
I have a problem, when I am trying to search the variables in Web Templates the search by text is case sensitive.
For example If I have the customer name as "King", I have to search the text as King or Ki*, But If I search as king I will not get any results.
I need to have my text search as case insensitive.
When I checked in my BEx queries the search is case insensitive. I have the problem in my Web Templates only. Please let me know do I need to change any variable settings ing the web templates or let me know how do I fix this issue.
Many Thanks,
Vamshi Krishna

Hi,
So the only workaround for this would be to goto RSD1 -> enter info
-object as xxxx, and press maintain, then goto master data/text
tab and select the check box, 'with text', now save and activate the
infoobject. After this regenerate the query using tcode rsrt.
To regenerate goto rsrt enter query name and press 'generate report'
button.
Now the F4 help screen should show the options search by key and search
by text. So that you can select serach by key to have a case insensitive
search.
Thanks,
Venkat

Case-sensitive search for equipments

Hello gurus,
when looking for certain equipments using F4 (program RIEQUI20), I can search for all equipments of a certain manufacturer (field HERST).
Unfortunatelly this search is always case-sensitive, i.e when I enter "BOSCH", equipments with manufacturer "Bosch" are not found and vice versa.
Is there any way to change this behaviour?
Thanks in advance
Alicia

Alicia,
Oops ..Sorry about that. I had misread it. You will not be able to accomplish the same in standard enhancement.You could remove the case sensitive check box on the HERST data element.But that would be considered A modification.That might however do the trick and save all the new contents in CAPS.The search help will then pick everything.(You may have to go into change mode on existing records and re save them for this change to be updated in DB )
However you could achieve the same, without modification and with a little bit of custom development.
What you could do is, create a Custom elementary search help(SE11) with the standard fields HERST(Input) and EQUNR(Output) fields .Create and Attach a custom Search help exit to the same by copying F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE. In here modify the STEP SELECT to append a translated (Upper and lower case) selection condition to the query or a appropriate wild card search.Then select the same from EQUI.This should pull all your records. After testing this out , append this search help to the standard collective search help EQUI.
Hope this helps.

Case-Sensitive Search

Hi all,
I'm having a stupid problem. We use Robohelp 7.0 for Word.
When people search using the search tab (compiled version), they
seem to only find words according to the case (i.e., search for
Quickbooks and Quickbooks shows up, but QUICKBOOKS doesn't return
anything). Is there a way to turn off case-sensitivity?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Search help is case sensitive

Hi,
I have created one z-'elementary search help' with selection method as a z-view.
View consist of following tables:
COMM_PRODUCT
COMM_PRSHTEXT
COMM_PRPRDCATR
COMM_CATEGORYT.
I have attached this elementary help search to 'COM_PR_COLLECTION' collective search help which we used for searching products.
The search help we have created shows the result which is 'case sensitive'.
If I search for 'Product Description' = 'button' I get
the output with all products with only small letter 'button' which is not required.
I must get the all product with description 'button' and 'Button'.
I haven't attached any of 'Search help exit' for elementary search help.
Please help.

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?
Regards,
Jitendra

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 .

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
Edited by: Wolfgang Taag on Aug 4, 2008 1:40 PM

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
