Case sensitive search

Case-sensitive search allows you to find words considering uppercase and lowercase letters as distinct. For example, words in context of case-sensitive search ‘Theory’, ’theory’, and ‘THEORY’ are all different.

Note that case-sensitive search is not compatible with other types of search (see Search flow).

The following example demonstrates how to perform case-sensitive search with a query in text form.

String indexFolder = "c:\\MyIndex\\";
String documentsFolder = "c:\\MyDocuments\\";
 
// Creating an index in the specified folder
Index index = new Index(indexFolder);
 
// Indexing documents from the specified folder
index.add(documentsFolder);
 
SearchOptions options = new SearchOptions();
options.setUseCaseSensitiveSearch(true); // Enabling case sensitive search
 
// Searching in the index
String query = "Windows";
SearchResult result = index.search(query, options);

The next example demonstrates how to perform case-sensitive search with a query in object form.

String indexFolder = "c:\\MyIndex\\";
String documentsFolder = "c:\\MyDocuments\\";
 
// Creating an index in the specified folder
Index index = new Index(indexFolder);
 
// Indexing documents from the specified folder
index.add(documentsFolder);
 
SearchOptions options = new SearchOptions();
options.setUseCaseSensitiveSearch(true); // Enabling case sensitive search
 
// Creating search query in object form
SearchQuery query = SearchQuery.createWordQuery("Windows");
 
// Searching in the index
SearchResult result = index.search(query, options);
