[Xapian-discuss] Value field Query and case sensitivity

[Colin Bell]

Thanks Andreas

The data held in the value fields are displayed during search results,  
so things like names of authors etc need to maintain their proper noun  
case sensitivity.

Does anyone know if and where I would modify the Xapian source code to  
lowercase the values before it does a value field match? Is this an  
option?
