Are search engines case sensitive?

Quick question. Would www.example.com/About be the same as www.example.com/about or www.example.com/aBoUt as far as search engines are concerned?

Simple Answer is : Yes

Why would a search engine be case sensitive? What's the purpose?

Search engine focuses on the words and sentences rather than how it is written (small case, upper case etc.)

This is what I have seen by far.

I was thinking no. I think search engines treat the case of a URL differently. I'll show you an example

http://www.dhonixpress.com/biography/ - The page has a PR of 2.

Where as http://www.dhonixpress.com/Biography/ has no PR.

Doesn't this suggest search engines treat them differently?

I am working on a site right now and this is going to be really important

Yes URL's are case sensitive, but domains themselves are not.

Also yes, different searches in caps/no caps on Google can show different results.

 

Perfect answer, however the difference in the search results using caps/no caps is not that huge in most cases.

 

urls are case sensitive. so it is no

 

Different casing returns different SERPS
