This is what I thought. MySQL does the right thing when using
= and ~ on the text fields. As far as I understood, author name and
title are text fields. Am I wrong? If yes, the comparison should work
correctly. However, comparisons on the author field work in
case-insensitive way, while comparisons on the title field are case
sensitive. So this suggests that author field is text, while title
field is somethign else. Is there logic behind this? According to 
documentation both fields are alphanumeric.

Thanks for your help

Lazar
