Hello.

I’ve set up a simple search results page, and different results come up depending on case sensitivity.

For Example, if the word “Umbrella” is searched, the correct data is presented.

If the word “umbrella” is searched, the correct data is not presented.

Additionally, this data is being pulled from Matrix, and the word “Umbrella” is entered into the Matrix with the capital “U”. Why are only exact matches (case sensitive)?

Thanks for your help in advance ...

I think I found the solution. I’m not a PHP expert, but this plugin is simple to use and worked for me:

phpStringFun

So, in my search results page, I now have this code:

{exp:search:search_results}
You searched for 
<strong>
      {exp:phpstringfun function="ucwords"}{exp:search:keywords}{/exp:phpstringfun}
</strong>

The PHP “ucwords” function changes each first letter of each word in the string to uppercase. So, if the user typed in “search term”, the parsed result would be: “Search Term”.

Hope this helps someone.

Fat Free Interactive,

Glad you found a solution.
Did you test it outside of the Matrix? Maybe just a simple native textarea
