Details:

Hey there.

I just found a patch in some freebsd bugtracker and saw that it says that
case insensetive search does not work in 4.6.1 (maybe in CVS i did not test
that :S )

I tried it and it does not works :))

A simple example how to reproduce. Get a directory which contains case and
non-case filenames too:

- service
- services
- ICEcube
- somethingelse

Now, when you open Search dialog and put *ICE* for filename you wanna search
then you got result like:

Case sens. ON:

- ICEcube (so it find it)

Case sens. OFF:

- ICEcube (so it find it again)

Let switch what we want to search. switch to *ice* then results:

Case sens. ON:

- service
- services

Case sens. OFF:

- service
- services

^^ So see the bug, while case sens. was off and you searched for *ice* you
need to see ICEcube too in the list, but you wont.

The patch original source is:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=99428

I take the patch from there and "reformatted" for mc 4.6.1

I attached two patch one for 4.6.1 and one for CVS (20070206 checkout)

Applies clean and fixes the bug, if not fixed in CVS already. I think no :)
