    I ‘ve got an uppercase-lowercase problem. I am using “Import Excel file” function. It works great and I can see the records on my page. There is a record like “ÇELİK” , but when I search the word “çelik” in lowercase, it can’t find the record. Only uppercase works. I think this is about Turkish characters because, there is a lower “i” character and upper “İ” caharacter in Turkish. And also there is lower “ı” and upper “I” caharacter.

    What should I do to solve problem?

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Unfortunately, I don’t know if there is a solution for this, sorry. The search function is coming from the external DataTables JavaScript library and I don’t know it can work with such special characters. I’m really sorry.

    Now, one way for a workaround could be to add an extra column to your table, where you add the lower-case words. Then, you can hide that extra column with some “Custom CSS” code, like

    .tablepress-id-1 .column-6 {
  display: none;
}

    Regards,
    Tobias
