SEARCH in filterbyformula case sensitive

[Maurizio_polver]

Hi there, i'm having issues with letters' case in my filterByFormula text and API call.

I'm trying to do a searching box where user can give an input of what they are looking for, and Airtable fetches from a big database.

Right now if i'm looking for "Hilfinger" it actually works alright and returns a few records, but if I type "hilfinger" it won't find anything.

Here is my API call, i hope you can help:

https://api.airtable.com/v0/appk7bV1OTtj*****/Offerte?filterByFormula=SEARCH(%22TEXT+HERE%22%2C+%7BNome+Oggetto%7D)&sort%5B0%5D%5Bfield%5D=Identificativo&sort%5B0%5D%5Bdirection%5D=desc

What would be ideal to happen is that Airtable gets the records even if cases are lower of uppercase.

Thank you very much, any help would be much appreciated

Airtable offers a LOWER() function and an UPPER() function, which forces text to either all lowercase or all uppercase.

Try wrapping both your user input and your field value inside a "LOWER()":

https://api.airtable.com/v0/appk7bV1OTtj*****/Offerte?filterByFormula=SEARCH(LOWER(%22TEXT+HERE%22)%2C+LOWER(%7BNome+Oggetto%7D))&sort%5B0%5D%5Bfield%5D=Identificativo&sort%5B0%5D%5Bdirection%5D=desc

That's perfect, thank you.

For future references, i just add to add another ")" to your code, but that was great
