Is it possible to use Google to search for capitalized words?

I was trying to do a search: violence Lost

and I want "Lost" (the tv show), not "lost" in general.

And then I said, Hmmmm.... Is there a way to search for capitalized words?

Thanks.

Capitalization

Google searches are NOT case sensitive. All letters, regardless of how you type them, will be understood as lower case. For example, searches for george washington, George Washington, and gEoRgE wAsHiNgToN will all return the same results.

[google.com...]

You'll get better results adding another search term anyway -- you wouldn't want pages here the generic word "Lost" was the first word in a sentence, for example.

I think if something is in double quotes, it is case sensitive if there are any upper case letters in that string. If not, the quoted string is case insensitive.

nonni, if you test your theory I think you'll find it isn't that way.
