Please add a case-sensitive search capability to Live Search (and perhaps Tree Search, too). Case-insensitive is a reasonable default. However, case-sensitive searches can be very useful, especially when searching for folder names, file names, or identifiers. (My most recent example is a search for references to a folder named "REGRESSION": almost all hits were false positives on the word "regression" in sentences.) Perhaps adding a special quoting syntax to CQL would serve....

[CONFSERVER-43551] Please add capability for case-sensitive searches.
This would be very useful. I have a use case where old data was migrated from another Wiki application. Some encoding issues made the outcome filled with “é”, “à ”, and such mojibake strings.
Suppose that we have such string:
La mise à jour a échoué.
Replace every “é” with é => La mise à jour a échoué.
Replace every “Ã ” with à => Làmise à jour àéchoué.
because there is no case sensitivity, but also no diacritics sensitivity.
On a large wiki page this can be a real pain.
Hi Team!
Do you have a plan for implement it?
So we will happy for this nice feature
Our writers has a huge work then need find case-sentitive word, phrase for change it.
Cheers,

Sometimes you really need this. Like we have a project Myproject that a new person on the team recent spelled MyProject and I wanted to ensure that he is the only one who did that, but myproject appears so many times in the docs ((as Myproject), I need to find the needles in the haystack by finding all pages that have specifically MyProject instead of Myproject. Any ideas for a workaround? I guess I could try to download all the docs of the project, don't know if that's even possible.
