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.
