Case-insensitive search within discourse console





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I discovered that using



title = 'lowercase and More'
topic = Topic.find_by(title:title)


will always return nil as the topic title when saved becomes Lowercase and More



I tried using



topics = Topic.find_by_sql("select * from topics where lower(title) = '#{title.gsub(/'/,"''").downcase}'")
if topics.length > 0 then
result = topics[0]
end


which resolves title: 'lowercase and More' but it brings up other edge cases.



Is there a simple way to do a case-insensitive searches within discourse using the rails console?
