“search results” — Uppercase, Lowercase, Title Case and Sentence Case
Enter this string in the converter and these are the four outputs it returns. Nothing here is stored or guessed: the same regular expressions that run in your browser were run at build time, so the page and the tool agree character for character.
Where each form belongs
| Form | Result | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| UPPERCASE | SEARCH RESULTS | Loud labels, ticker codes, shouting about a deadline |
| lowercase | search results | Email addresses, URL slugs, file names |
| Title Case | Search Results | Headlines, button labels, menu items |
| Sentence case | Search results | Body copy, descriptions, help text |
How the rules behave on this string
Every conversion starts from the same tidy-up: runs of spaces collapse to one and the ends are trimmed, while line breaks are preserved. Uppercase and lowercase then apply directly. Sentence case lowercases everything and re-capitalises the first letter after a full stop, question mark, exclamation mark or line break. Title case lowercases everything and re-capitalises the letter that follows the start of a line, a space, a quote, a bracket or an apostrophe.
This string has no hyphens, apostrophes or initialisms, so all four rules produce the textbook result without any of the edge cases that trip them up.
Counted rather than eyeballed, the string runs 14 characters across 2 words, of which 13 are letters and 1 are punctuation, digits or spaces. Average word length works out to 6.5 letters, the longest word is “results” at 7 characters and the shortest is “search” at 6. Title Case puts in 2 capitals, 15% of the letter count. This is entry 18 of 76 in the reference.

Frequently asked questions
What does each of the four results mean?
They are four separate passes over the same 14-character string. UPPERCASE and lowercase are the obvious ones. Title Case capitalises the first letter of every word, and Sentence case capitalises only the first letter of each sentence while forcing everything else down. The converter on the homepage builds them with the identical rules.
Which one should I paste into my document?
For interface strings, Sentence case is the safer default: it reads like a sentence, translates more cleanly and avoids the question of which words count as important enough to capitalise.
