simple question...

are all the engine case insensitive or do keywords and phrases weigh in differently in different cases.

Sorry for the delay Nudge. As far as I know none of the currently existing search engines take case into consideration. In fact, I'd bet on it. I do get search phrases typed with first letter capitals and all caps occasionally showing separately in the logs, but I don't ever use all caps and they're found anyway.

It's the same regardless of case, the thing to watch for with phrases is using the words right next to each other in exact phrases in addition to using the words separately.
