Dear helpers,

I really like the idea of having an address book based on org-mode,
but I don‘t understand why org-contacts searches case sensitive,
because at least to me this makes it more difficult to find what I am
looking for (I‘am searching an entry about a conference.  But how did
I write "conference"?).

There is an old thread, where this point is shortly discussed, at

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2012-06/msg00676.html

but I already (setq case-fold-search t) and it has no effect.  Is
really the solution related to this function?  What else could I
change?

I‘am usung Emacs 24.3.1 Orgmode 7.9.2.

Thank you very much in advance!

Martin

I am on Org-mode version 8.3beta and my org-contacts search is case
insensitive. I have no customization related to case sensitivity in my
configuration.

I have no clue what org-contacts provides in this direction anyway
because I end up using org-sparse-tree + regexp to look for entries.
And recently, I discovered helm-do-grep which I enjoy using very
much :-)

You might want to take a look at helm-org-headlines, if you only search
for names.

"helm-org-keywords: Helm-org-keyword not supported in 24.3.1"

Will do after I switched to Emacs 24.x :-)

I am no helm expert (far from it), but are you sure you called
helm-org-headlines and not helm-org-keyword?

Hehe. My fault.

Typed in helm-org- TAB, found helm-org-keyword more interesting to
try out and ended up with that message and forgot that you suggested
me a different command :-)

Thanks for the tipp, helm-org-headlines works pretty well and is a
win for my daily Org!
