Are you sure it does? And what if you want the search to be case sensitive ? After all, 'A' is different from 'a'.

In fact, I would imagine that the SQL "standard" would require matching to be case sensitive.

There are options available to you, but at present I can't see any that do not involve substantial work. Pity!
