Wen, You need to make sure that you are using the same analyzer when both indexing and searching in a particular index field. For instance, in your case, you need to ensure that the value "DATABASE" (in whatever field that is in) is indexed with the StandardAnalyzer. Then, use the StandardAnalyzer to search that field. This should find the match when you search for "database", "DATABASE", "Database", etc, and return the original value stored as "DATABASE".
Of course, if you need case sensitivity, then you'd use the KeywordAnalyzer. If you've got a more complex index schema which requires different analyzers per field, then you'll need to look into using the PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper in order to correctly handle indexing and searching.
