The wiki has a few input fields that help users to locate pages in the wiki. There are two types of these fields: Search fields and filter fields. They behave differently and it is useful to know their differences.
Admin users should point out the differences to their users or provide a clear label and example of how to use such a field if it is added to a page.

SMW datatables filter
- Page titles need to be filtered with uppercase to be found. ("me" does not find page "Mention")
- Page titles are found even if they are preceded by a special character ("Zwei" finds "-Zwei")
- Lowercase filter considers letters within words and at the beginning of words except for the first letter of the title ("me" finds "Book a meeting" and "Ideenmanagement", but not "Mention")
- Uppercase filter considers letters at the beginning and within words ("Me" finds "Mention", "SMW Media query" and "TestMedium")
