Remarks

Search performed on a "case-sensitive" item

When a search is performed on a "case-sensitive" item, only the words with matching lowercase/uppercase characters will be found.

Therefore, if the customer name is "Smith":

a search performed on "Smith" will find a record,
a search performed on "SMITH" will find no record.

Configuring the search options for an item

To manage the accented characters during the searches, use AccentuationSensitive.

To manage the punctuation during the searches, use PunctuationSensitive.
