Is there any way to do a case-sensitive search?

[JDrake]

I've been wondering if there is any way to do a case-sensitive search, like on Google or Yahoo.

Like now, if you search "TISSUE" or something, you'll get results for "Tissue, TiSsUe, tissuE, etc"
Is there any way to have it just display results for "TISSUE" (in all caps)?

and it's supposed to be "any way" and not "anyway", right?

Not in google.

"Google searches are NOT case sensitive. All letters, regardless of how you type them, will be understood as lower case. For example, searches for george washington, George Washington, and gEoRgE wAsHiNgToN will all return the same results."


Yahoo ! has no case sensitive searching. Using either lower or upper or mixed case will result in the same hits.

"Case Sensitive: In general, most search engines will match upper case, lower case, and mixed case as all the same term. Some search engines have the capability to match exact case. Entering a search term in lower case will usually find all cases. In a case sensitive search engine, entering any upper case letter in a search term will invoke the exact case match."

Example:
next finds next, Next, NeXT, neXT
NeXT finds only NeXT

Hmm, yea I had looked up in Altavista's search help and it said

Uppercase and lowercase are treated the same. To maintain a certain capitalization, put the word in quotes.

Tried that, but it didn't work :/

That takes 2x the storage space in an index. No.

Does any search engine offer this?

The engine I use at work does. But I wrote it, and it only does my pages
