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.

const indexFolder = 'c:/MyIndex/';
const documentsFolder = 'c:/MyDocuments/';

const index = new groupdocs.search.Index(indexFolder); // Creating index in the specified folder
index.add(documentsFolder); // Indexing documents from the specified folder

const options = new groupdocs.search.SearchOptions();
options.setUseCaseSensitiveSearch(true); // Enabling case sensitive search

const query = 'Advantages';
const result = index.search(query, options); // Searching

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

const indexFolder = 'c:/MyIndex/';
const documentsFolder = 'c:/MyDocuments/';

const index = new groupdocs.search.Index(indexFolder); // Creating index in the specified folder
index.add(documentsFolder); // Indexing documents from the specified folder

const options = new groupdocs.search.SearchOptions();
options.setUseCaseSensitiveSearch(true); // Enabling case sensitive search

const query = groupdocs.search.SearchQuery.createWordQuery('Advantages'); // Creating search query in object form

const result = index.search(query, options); // Searching
