JohnMu Confirms about case sensitive results
June 20th, 2008 | by Ankit |I had already discussed about some of the Google’s case sensitive results. Last night at Google Webmaster chat … JohnMu had confirmed that .. Google may take this into account if they recognize that the query is relevant.
Here is the exact question and answer:
Robert Longfield:
Q: Does google differentiate between searches in lower case and searches with proper capitalization?
John Mueller:
A: We may take this into account if we can recognize that it is relevant to the query.
I think this might be something to worry about.

Hi Ankit, it looks like I may have been a bit too fast in answering that one :-). At the moment, as far as I know, we do not look at case sensitivity in web search. However, at some time in the future, we may decide to take it into account should we find that it is relevant and improves the quality of our results.
If you see differences at the moment, it is likely due to normal fluctuations and perhaps differences across datacenters. If you find drastic differences, it would be great if you could post them in the Webmaster Help groups so that we can investigate them appropriately.
