RE: Trying to do case insensitive comparison in web api

Dear David,

a!query(
filter: a!queryFilter(
field: "email",
operator: "=",
value: http!request.queryParameters.email
),
pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(
startIndex: 1,
batchSize: 50
)
)

I tried the above syntax where it was not giving the results, hence I changed the operator to have "contains" rather "=". This time I got the results, then I switched back to "=" operator then it worked.

Ideally the above mentioned behavior is not expected rather it should work with the "=" operator. Also I would suggest if this does not work, you could return the email as Upper case in the record and search with upper(http!request.queryParameters.emailAddress)

AFAIK queryFilter() does a case-insensitive filtering. Have you tried value as just http!request.queryParameters.emailAddress? without any function like upper() etc. The filter should work properly.
