In some cases the search is case-sensitive

[Hannoma]

I have defined the resource fields as searchable (with the $search array). When I search, the search seems to be case-sensitive. This does not happen for other resources, where the search is case-insensitive

Fixed this issue by changing the encoding of the underlying field in the database from utf8mb4_bin to utf8mb4_unicode_ci

Searching within a Tag field is case sensitive which feels odd.

If you set the database charset to use case sensitive, it would be odd to now want search to be case insensitive.

I haven't "set the database to use case sensitive" – I'm searching a JSON column which I believe is always case sensitive?

The reason it's a JSON column is there are multilingual values stored in the column (I'm using spatie/laravel-tags).
