Case Sensitive Search in Vi/Vim

Posted by Joys of Programming on in Linux, Vim

By default, the search in Vim editor is case sensitive. But in cases, where the search is turned to case insensitive using the vim settings file: .vimrc, it can be overridden by the following way

Suppose you are searching for the pattern Vim

Go to the ESCAPE mode (by pressing ESC key)

Enter :set noic (Note that the semicolon in the beginning is must), where noic corresponds to No Ignore Case (Don’t ignore Case)

Now enter your search term, /Vim (to search forward) or ?Vim (to search backward)
