CaSe sensitive search engine?

Is there a search engine on the web that will do searches using case sensitive text? I know Google doesn't. I'm not aware of any so if there is one out there please let us know.

He's not crazy; promiscuity re: case is an issue

For example if I search for "air," I will get hundreds of thousands of hits about the gas that comprises our atmosphere. Let's suppose I want to eliminate all of those and search only for the famous cracking team "AiR," I could not do so using case sensitivity alone (which would be the most simple and efficient method). The same goes for "ArCADE," "AMPLiFY," and "COBaLT."

I'm sure there are less nefarious examples, but I can't think of any right now (I came across this thread via Google while searching for an engine that would separate "COBaLT" from "cobalt").

Well, obviously this is a needed tool. Someone create a search engine that uses case sensitivity and you'll be the next Internet billionaire. I guarantee it.

To get case sensitivity, the amount of data that would have to be stored is much higher than what Google has already.

Building a search engine to search with case sensitivity is easy enough, but having the resources to have a decent search engine requires millions of dollars.

Really? So, if I'm doing a SQL-related case-sensitive search for SELECT, PROJECT OVER, GIVING, etc., it will just take a minute to search. That is much more efficient than having to search for hours when it comes to do my homework. I do have a textbook, but unfortunately, I'm not comfortable reading books due to my visual impairement.
