I can see your point in having a case sensitive search but I mainly use 
this to look for things I'm not sure about... So at this time I think I 
prefer case insensitive. But perhaps this should be put in ipythonrc as 
an option since this is certainly a matter of taste. But perhaps that 
work should be left for the branch.
