CONFSERVER-43551 is still open, we can vote there

Adam,
Thank you for the update. Honestly, though, the above is disappointing. My case to implement this feature would be that:

1. Other word processors do it.
2. There may be times in a document when case really matters. If I have a product called "Vendor Widget",  and the name is changing to "Vendors Widget", it would be useful to find ONLY those instances of "Vendor" that start with a capital V. e.g. There may be sentences such as "If you are a vendor....".

Thanks again.

@David   +1.

Thanks for supporting - and augmenting - my comment.

If anything, Steve understates how useful this feature is. Word Processors have had this feature for decades. DECADES! Even Notepad has case-sensitivity in their Find and Replace.

It is - frankly - ridiculous for a modern publishing tool not to have this. 

Bill,

Thanks for your above comment. However, I would like to request you guys revisit it, esp. since it's been over two years since it was closed.

Word processors (such as MS Word) have case-sensitive find-replace as an option. I think this functionality is basic enough so that Confluence should support it. A simple check box next to the find/replace fields would be great.

Example: if I have a name of a field in a database (e.g. "selling price") which should be "Selling Price", I'd like to identify all instances where it is lower case, and change to upper case.

Example: The name "Bob" can also be a verb "bob".  I decide I want Bob's name to be "Bill". But, I do not want my global replace to include the verb "bob". 

etc.

Thanks,
Steve

Thank you for raising this issue. While I can see how this feature would be useful, we have no plans to implement it in the foreseeable future. In order to set expectations, we're closing this request now.

Thanks again for your idea.
