random1 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hi All! I've got the following simple example code I've created for a db table "simple_search": SELECT `sid`, `sbody`, `stitle`, `sdescription` FROM `simple_search` WHERE `stitle` LIKE '%the%' ORDER BY `stitle` LIMIT 10; It currently returns records that have "the", "The", "THE", "thE" etc for the title. How can I make a case-sensitive version of this that ONLY returns records that match "the"? I'm using the collation 'utf8_unicode_ci" and the engine "InnoDB".
