Sometimes I want to search the source with case-sensitivity on. For
example, I might be interested in knowing if the source has anything with
the word "Euler" in it. As function and method names are lower-case, case-
sensitivity search might not return the name of a function/method like
"euler_phi". However, if the documentation for "euler_phi" has something
like "Euler phi function" or "Euler totient function", then case-
sensitivity search would pick up "Euler". Sometimes I want to do a case-
insensitivity search. In that case (pun not intended), I would expect that
both "euler_phi" and "Euler" be returned by the search. At the end of the
day, one can make case-insensitivity search as default, but should also
give people the option to do case-sensitivity search. My 2-cent.
