SEARCH was designed to be fast and, at the time, it was much faster
to scan for the first character of the searched-for string and, if
you found it, execute a string compare instruction. It was also a
much simpler algorithm. I later wrote a case-insensitive version but
it either never made it into the released code or just never got
documented.
I think it's funny that, even though an obvious enhancement, none of
the coders who re-implemented the original Reality function added a
case-insensitive option.

SEARCH is another of my pet peeves. It should be *smart enough* to figure
out, or at least provide an option to be case insensitive. Maybe it does,
and I'm not aware. But it just always seemed crazy. So, I search - string?
"MARK JONES" then "Mark Jones" then "Mark jones" then "mark jones".
