This is on our roadmap. Stay tuned! |
|
We are over-tuned already. |
|
Still tuned in, but the feature’s on mute. 🔇 |
|
So 4 years is not enough? Any chance it would be implemented by 2030? |
|
If only github used AI! |
|
@look still on the roadmap? Maybe this was implemented in some parts of GH, but not all? It doesn't work on Github Action's logs from builds at the moment. The response from @Jackenmen doesn't work there either. |
|
Would be also great if it could support Regex flags for example |
|
I wonder if "smart" case sensitivity could be an option, i.e. if the search is all lower case, it defaults to case-insensitive. But if your search is mixed-case, it does a case-sensitive search, as that was probably your intention. |
|
I prefer @rogchap's suggestion, which is uniform with regex syntax used elsewhere. I often want all lower case and case sensitive. |
|
Your smart suggestion simply creates problems for the many users who want to use mixed case terms that are case sensitive. Java for example has many examples of mixed case tokens, and your suggestion would be broken. Its simply better to have a checkbox or whatever in the UI to allow the user to pick case sensitivity/insensitivity. |

I would love this |
|
Just to add some color, I typically rely on case sensitive matches when searching for the thing I need. It helps me disambiguate between types and classes in Typescript (eg. |
|
In the meantime this can be accomplished with e.g. |
|
While not a resolution from GitHub, I think it's worth highlighting this workaround with the "mark as answer" until a better way is available. |
|
This workaround doesn't appear to work for Enterprise search |
|
I think we can assume this is considered GitHub's official solution to this problem now as they list it in their documentation: |
|
Years later still not solved. Who in the right mind would make code search case insensitive? Seriously. Even regexp and "exact match" are case insensitive. Who even allowed this to go into production? |
|
Would be nice to see search made better. This would level GitHub up. |
|
Still staying tuned. This is a code website, why doesn't it do case sensitive search? In my IDE I can easily do case sensitive and whole word searching, this isn't difficult. |
|
Your organization needs to prioritize this one. For larger customers, it's impossible to search large code bases accurately and efficiently using your product. Having this feature would have saved me hours this week. |
|
This is pathetic! |
|
Four years on the roadmap. This is a very long roadmap they have in GitHub! :) |
|
Maybe github should use AI to finish the feature in 5 minutes. |
|
Anyone really cares? it's a simple very important feature |
In the meantime this can be accomplished with
