Dear team,
I'm writing to report an issue with the "Input Box" control on Looker Studio. Currently, users must enter the exact case (uppercase and lowercase) of the data they want to search for in order to obtain accurate results. This can be inconvenient and time-consuming, especially for users who may not be familiar with the exact casing of the data.
Is there a way to make the Input Box control case-insensitive? This would allow users to search for data regardless of the case they enter, making it a more user-friendly experience.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
This is a good question! I saw a reddit post where folks had the same issue, but couldn't quite solve it.
I do wonder if the appropriate regex would help us solve this.
I've done a workaround that works like this: Suppose you're searching on Name, create a calculated field LOWER(Name) and use that as your field for the input box instead. Instruct the users to enter their search term in all lowercase.
But, I agree that case insensitivity should be built in!
Thanks you!
I'm using it the same way you use it. but it's a bit inconvenient. I think this issue needs to be updated
