Darned if I know how it got set nil, but it has,
apparently in every buffer, and it's just HORRIBLE.
How to set it to 1, THROUGHOUT emacs, without restarting emacs?
(No, (setq case-fold-search 1) doesn't seem to do it GLOBALLY.)
Thanks!
David

Try:
(setq-default case-fold-search t)
It sets the global value but it won't have effect on buffer's which
already have buffer-local binding for the variable. You can execute
(kill-local-variable 'case-fold-search)
in such buffers and then they start using the global value again.
