     Yes.  I guess the reason is that 'ignorecase' is normally changed
based on the file type, which should not affect how you interact with
vim's help system.

:help :helpgrep

                                                *:helpg* *:helpgrep*
:helpg[rep] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[snip]
                'ignorecase' is not used, add "\c" to ignore case.
