Google is now case sensitive [DotSauce]

I remember needing Google to be case-sensitive a while back for something related to domain research. Now if only I can remember what that was!

I can't seem to get any different results for different variations in case. Anyone have an example that works?

http://www.google.com/search?q=Keral+Patel = 239,000 Results.
http://www.google.com/search?q=keral+patel = 241,000 Results.

Other then that Not much difference. But it is still a difference of 2000 search results.

The listings on top and first pages are looking similar. Thinking which 2000 are extra in the non capital one.

still the same results for both
maybe google.com.ph is kinda late in update.

An update from Mark:

Update Apr. 23: A day later, search results are no longer case sensitive. My suspicions may have proved true that this was simply a test by Google to improve the accuracy of results. We may see this change return if Google labs decides that their test was a success.

something like this could have repercussions for both surfer and webmasters: http://www.searchenginepanel.com/google-search-results-becoming-case-sensitive/

I don't think that google is not case sensitive because it is showing same results

 

[shockie]

they were just testing out case-sensitivity for a little bit and have stopped testing about a week ago.
