Now if you search "/foo" it will highlight foo.
If you search for "/bar" it will highlight BAR.
Isn't this what you want?
I tried this on rhel 4.

Strange. Searches in man pages *are* case insensitive. Suppose a man page contains:
foo and BAR went up a hill to install LINUX.
Now if you search "/foo" it will highlight foo.

Anyway, a workaround would be something like this:
man mkdir | col -bx > mkdir.manpage
vi mkdir.manpage
That lets you view man pages with vi.
You could write a script called "myman" which takes the command name as $1, pipes man $1 to col -bx, saves the output to $1.manpage and finally opens it with vi. You'd need to include $2 for "man 3 mkdir" kind of searches.
