We have a user\_metatdata { first\_name, last\_name ) , is there any way to do a case insensitive search here ? its kinda become a blocker for us , since Front end used to support this in the previous authentication model we used to use

Thanks

Hi @imtiaz.n

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

At this moment, searches on user metadata is case-sensitive, the Management API does not support [wildcards for user metadata](https://auth0.com/docs/manage-users/user-search/user-search-query-syntax#wildcards:~:text=or%20more%20characters.-,Wildcard%20searches%20are%20not%20available%20on%20user_metadata%20fields,-). Although not fitting of your use-case and just to leave this information here, the [GET /api/v2/users](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2/users/get-users) endpoint is case insensitive as mentioned in our following Knowledge Article : [Search for Users by Email with Auth0 Management API Endpoint](https://community.auth0.com/t/search-for-users-by-email-with-auth0-management-api-endpoint/126155)

Other topics that fit your case and confirm that user metadata is not case insensitive :

- [How to use wildcard and case-insensitive searches for user-meta data? - #2](https://community.auth0.com/t/how-to-use-wildcard-and-case-insensitive-searches-for-user-meta-data/118682/2#:~:text=on%20user%20metadata%3F-,Searches%20on%20user%20metadata%20are%20case%2Dsensitive,-).
- [Get all users by email consistency issues](https://community.auth0.com/t/get-all-users-by-email-consistency-issues/136355)

My recommendation is to provide [Feedback](https://auth0.com/feedback) on this matter where other users can cast their vote. As this page is being monitored by our Product team, if a Feature Request gains popularity, it can accelerate the development and potential implementation in the future.

Hope this helped!  
Gerald
