How can I make searches case insensitive?
The search page should be case insensitive. If it is not, then it
might be a bug.
it's a bug... I don't know if we have a jira issue. I heard this issue
from another user 2 days ago and I remember seeing it myself.
I'm using PostgreSQL as backend, could that be the source of the
problem? How actually searching works? Using database functions? If you
give me a hint where is it done (in code) I can investigate the problem.
Check the code for Main.WebSearch , its a series of hibernate hql queries.
The string is searched with "where field LIKE '$keyword'", so if LIKE is
not
case insensitive, this is the cause.
Speaking
of searching, it not clear to me what happens if I turn on
Lucene. Does this replace searching back-end
for regular search
box, or
I have to add new page for searching?
No, it does not replace normal search. You will have to write a search
page that uses Lucene. Maybe we should have this page in the Code area
on
xwiki.org <http://xwiki.org>.
We already have it :-)

It was not clear to me does it replace regular search, thanks for the
answer. I will add search box integration to JIRA for future reference,
and I think that this should be stated on plugin page, because
description is a bit misleading: "It can be used in place of the default
search implementation..."
