Not sure what happened when I hit reply but I think I shot a blank email back 
just a minute ago.

I never had the opportunity to test what I was told. I was given that 
information by a DBA. I guess he was wrong.

If this search is only on a particular field or a set of fields, it should work 
if you store the data in all upper case or all lower case so when searching for 
that field convert the search string first to match the case that it is stored 
in the DB and then perform the search.. That should work for pre V7 versions..

Joe,
what you were told is false.

However getting to the correct answers was more interesting and time consuming.

In the end,  be very very careful, and created case insensitive indices for 
those fields where you still want to be able to use them.

Short answer: I think that going to Remedy V7 and the new FTS is a better 
answer.
