You can use the \c escape sequence anywhere in the pattern. For example:
/\ccopyright or /copyright\c or even /copyri\cght
To do the inverse (case sensitive matching), use \C (capital C) instead.
Also,
\ccan appear anywhere in the pattern, so if you type a pattern and then decide you wanted a case-insensitive search, just add a\cat the end.I like to add
set ignorecasefor case-insensitive searching in my vimrc, and I can use\Cto do a case-sensitive search similar to what @AlokSinghal mentioned.There's also
set smartcasewhich will automatically switch to a case-sensitive search if you use any capital letters.Just want to add to Zaz's comment.
set smartcaseapplies only whenset ignorecaseis already active. I was stumped on this for a while. See Vim Tips.@coderMe, It's the capitalization,
\cversus\C
