Case-sensitive search

The default Funnelback configuration uses a case-insensitive approach to matching query terms with documents. The following steps describe how to enable case sensitive search for a collection:

1. Edit the collection's configuration file, collection.cfg
2. Add -case to the indexer_options field. Any collections indexed with this setting will have case sensitivity enabled, but it will not take affect until query processing is also configured to use case-sensitivity.
3. Add -case=on to the query_processor_options field. Any indexes that are not indexed with case sensitivity will revert back to case insensitive.
4. Re-index the collection.

Example

A collection.cfg file with case sensitivity enabled:

...
indexer_options=-case
query_processor_options=-case=on
...
