Re: How to use case sensitive org-search-view?

[Tim Cross <theophilusx@gmail.com>]

my 2 cents would vote for a variable which manages case folding. This
would be in-line with how isearch works and something familiar to most
Emacs users. I also prefer a single function which behaves differently
depending on a config variable setting over separate functions as I
think it makes key binding easier (though admittedly, it is trivial to
define a lambda which selects between different functions depending on
the setting of a config variable or prefix arg etc ).
