I think your documentation is out of date; the current API reference describes the
function correctly.

You have to prepare the search string first via GetCharCaselessValue() e.g.:
Char* origStr = "hello";
Char strToFind[32];
UInt8* convTab = GetCharCaselessValue();
UInt pos = 0;
Boolean match;
UInt16 i;
for (i = 0; origStr[i] != 0; i++)
strToFind[i] = convTab[origStr[i]];
strToFind[i] = 0;
match = FindStrInStr("hello", strToFind, &pos);
