Search box problem - Capital letters

It works, many thanks David.

This condition of your if() statement is what does it. It compares the
contents of pesquisa.text to a literal string, "Albergaria" -- and that
string begins with a capital letter, with lowercase letters afterward.
Instead, it sounds like you want to check for the string "Albergaria"
without regard to case (doesn't matter where the capitals are), so you could
do something like this:

if ((pesquisa.text.toLowerCase() == "albergaria")) {

The reason that works is because the value of pesquisa.text is a string,
and the String class features a toLowerCase() method. In this context, it
doesn't matter what the user types. Might be albergaria, might be
Albergaria or aLbErGaRiA or any other combination. Doesn't matter. The
toLowerCase() method temporarily converts that value to lower case --
"albergaria" -- and compares that against the literal string "albergaria";
if they match, all is well; if they don't, your else is performed.
