The answer is yes, google accounts for about 90% while Bind accounts for almost 5%, quite a huge gap. Considering IE is still the most used browser, this would mean even most IE users, use Google to search. The problem is though, that there are no real standards about SEO, most is made up by Google, Yahoo and Microsoft. W3C defines HTML & CSS, why not SEO too?

Yes - they should find some way to "advertise" that limitation more perdominantly. It comes as quite a surprise - especially when it only occurs in cached mode. It makes sense once you start thinking of the cached mode as a Hashtable - which wouldn't support case-insensitive lookups unless coded specifically to do so. Just FYI - the cached Lookup is also space-sensitive and collation-sensitive. The uncached Lookup leaves the comparison up to the database engine (whatever one that is) - but the cached Lookup compares it internally, very strictly.
