# CaseSensitiveFieldNames

Set `CaseSensitiveFieldNames` to `True` if you want the Content component to treat field names as case sensitive in the index and configuration file, and to match field names in queries case-sensitively.

By default, Content converts field names to uppercase at index time, and also converts any field names that you specify in configuration or action parameters to uppercase, so that it treats fields with the same name except for case as equivalent.

For more information about case-sensitive search, refer to Knowledge Discovery Expert.

Type: | Boolean
Default: | False
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | Server
Example: | `CaseSensitiveFieldNames=True` In this example, if you run the query `action=Query&Text=dog:*/animal`, the query returns only documents that contain the value `dog` (not case-sensitive) in an `animal` field. The query does not return documents that contain the value `dog` (not case-sensitive) in field called `Animal` or `ANIMAL`.

NOTE: This configuration parameter is a permanent setting. If you want to change this setting, you must initialize your index.
