@massimo: we covered all bases. If I'm not mistaken grid uses smart_query, that by default uses '=', that for strings/text/etc maps to 'like', that in turns maps to ilike (after lots of discussion about it). Even if it used contains(), though, for everybody (including the OP that uses sqlite) except MongoDB and GAE, it would still be case-insensitive. If GAE and MongoDB don't have case-insensitivity as a built-in, the only thing to do is documenting the behaviour in the "gotchas" section of the book, not opening yet another ticket in googlecode and leave a web2py-user hanging in there ;-P
@nikos: with sqlite the search is case-insensitive by default. On Friday, October 10, 2014 10:13:35 PM UTC+2, Massimo Di Pierro wrote: > > Yes. grid uses contains(...) to build queries.
