Both searching and replacing automatically do case-matching if you use any uppercase characters in the search string. This is not sufficent if you want to search/replace only _lowercase_ characters, and it would be nice to have such an option, but I wonder if it could be added without zillions of new commands? -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
