requinix Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 What's the collation of the field you're searching on? If you don't know, what does SHOW CREATE TABLE output for it?

requinix Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Then I don't see why it wouldn't be searching case-insensitively already. The space probably matters - strip it out for good measure.
