    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      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.

            Comment [ Let me understand. In 2016, 8 years ago, someone opened this request.  Many people including myself would find it useful.  It's not that hard to implement, really. And yet, you don't implement it?

            How do you justify taking a salary and charging money for this product? ]

            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.
