This seriously cripples any search capabilities.

Consider:

http://api.stackapps.com/0.8/search?intitle=soapi&order=desc&sort=activity vs

http://api.stackapps.com/0.8/search?intitle=Soapi&order=desc&sort=activity vs

http://api.stackapps.com/0.8/search?intitle=SOAPI&order=desc&sort=activity

This also begs the question "How many other textual parameters are case sensitive?"

it is my opinion that there should be no case sensitivity anywhere in the API.

I somewhat agree. I think that if there are case-sensitive parameters in the API, they should have some means by which they can be made case-insensitive.

What I think this should boil down to is the addition of a parameter like case-sensitive=true.

  • Right, everyone would start using case-sensitive=false in their search.

  • @Gan: Well the default would be the opposite.
