"Everywhere on the web users can search case insensitive, except when your site is based on a database like mongodb." Where all users at the moment uses case insensitive everywhere, i think it is good that mongodb will support fast search on that on indexes as well as on full table scans. Even things like Ë can be find by searching just for e. If mongodb can handle this, this database can better be used daily. So please provide a way so all searches are automatically be done in a case insensitive manner. |

But this could double the size of the file. I know that as we already have a solution that is not priority right now. But other databases (relational) do that. They could at least put this Freature as a low priority targets. |

See Note: you can toLower() in your app and have 2 fields in mongo if needed |
