Tried a more literal reading of https://go.laserfiche.com/support/webhelp/Laserfiche/10/en-us/userguide/#../Subsystems/client_wa/Content/Search/Wildcards.htm%3FTocPath%3DLaserfiche%2520Windows%2520and%2520Web%2520Client%7CSearch%7C_____6
and used this search
and it worked. Odd that [0-9] works to find a digit, but [a-z] does not work to find a letter. Thanks for the kick in the pants Chad :)
Can you post the article where you learned to write S*[a-z] for a case sensitive search?
Otherwise it could be many of the counter options you have enabled. Fuzzy search, find partial matches, include variations. All this seems to work against "Case Sensitivity" and I would turn all that off for explicit searches.
No article involved, just used the information under searches & wildcards in the user guide. I've tried it with all of the search option checkboxes off and trimmed the search down to *[a-z]. No joy.
I also tried running the syntax in a search in workflow (just for hah-hahs) and no difference.
I think the user guide is web based so you should be able to link to the part you found this syntax.

Aha, this is wildcard syntax, I was wondering what it was. It does not seem there is a wildcard available for "lower case" though. It seems you can search with case sensitivity but you must know what letters your looking for.
You might need to run 26 searches.
IE:
*a
*b
etc
Edit: Oh I see the brackets do accept case specific characters, so [abc..] works too
Your search syntax is not case sensitive. * matches any character regardless of casing.
S*[a-z] will match anything starting with S and ending in a letter. "Case sensitive/accent sensitive" option would only ensure things start with a capital S and the last letter is lower case in this case.
"would only ensure things start with a capital S and the last letter is lower case in this case" That is what I was going for and it didn't work. You have to specify all of the characters between a and z.
Hm, yes, I can reproduce it. I filed defect #486803 for it.
Thanks
