How do I search the net with case sensitive keywords?

[Eug]

I want to search for InFO but instead I get a bazillion hits on "info".

I have my own proprietary search engine that I developed using FoxPro. It supports case sensitive searches (and a ton more), but all the data has to be in my tables.

To solve this problem and help you conduct case sensitive searches on Google, someone has created a Google Appengine powered search engine at Case Sensitive Search (src) – it scans through Google search results and filters out results that match the case of your search query.

And here's the Case Sensitive Search link:

But I can't figure out how to use it, or it's an incomplete page or something. :\

Use a related keyword, such as a noun that identifies what the hell InFO is.

What does it stand for?

I don't know. Google it.

I don't know.

We knew that already.

TSMC's Integrated Fan Out chip process

It's supposed to increase chip performance efficiency and decrease chip thickness.

Thanks but a lot of articles only have InFO, not the whole phrase spelled out.

How about this... "Integrated Fan Out chip process"

Example? I wouldn't think that any serious article about the technology would fail to spell out the acronym.

It's common to spell out the acronym the first time you mention it in an article or technical paper, so it should still be a valid way to search.

Reminds me of when I was searching for a company and all I knew was its acronym: AND. Doing an internet search for AND was futile. After days of searching I finally figured out that it was "AND Optoelectronics". That helped a bit. But even to this day, you can't easily find that company online (try it). They probably thought that they were clever when naming it. But then the internet came around and they are probably losing out on a lot of business when no one can find them.

Yeah, that's how I've been searching. However, there are other articles that don't have the full phrase.

Carson's right in that any serious article about the technology spells it out, but I'm actually looking for less technical articles like this one. It's getting a lot of press in the non-technical media because it pertains to the packaging process rumoured to be used by TSMC for Apple's new iPhone 7.

In the end though, it may be a waste of time, because most of them seem to be claiming the iPhone 7's A10 SoC will be produced using a 10 nm process with InFO packaging, but the CPU guys at AT say that's most likely wrong. It's likely to be a 16 nm FF+ process, albeit possibly with InFO, and 10 nm won't come until the A11 in the iPhone 7s in 2017.

The acronym HD DVD annoyed me to no end for this reason (when HD DVD was still a thing). If you searched for it, you'd get a bazillion hits on DVD mixed in with hits on HD DVD. If you searched HDDVD, you'd miss some stuff.

The stupid part of this was the name was created in the era of the internet and Google.

Sheesh, any intelligent search engine should support case sensitive searches. Easy for me to say, but like I said, my own proprietary search engine does support it, I just have to click a checkbox. Google is hell of powerful, but not supporting case sensitive searches? Gimme a break.
