maintaining case when pasting into emacs search

maintaining case when pasting into emacs search

[Jai Dayal]

Hi,

When I visit a file, copy something out of it, and then search for this
string in another instance, I do C-s to invoke isearch, and then C-y to
paste what I've copied. However, when I paste it, it comes out in all
lowercase.

1:AAIAAJTJ8o3qZQAAATkCmMTN148=
comes out
1:aaiaajtj.....  etc etc.

Surprisingly, I just pasted it in this email (outside of emacs) and it
pasted with the correct case.

What am I doing wrong?
Jai

   it pasted with the correct case.

Yank in incremental search is special.  See:

 (info "(emacs) Isearch Yank")

which, ideally, should xref to:

 (info "(emacs) Search Case")

but does not (in my copy).  In the latter, look for ‘M-c’.
