Is there a way to make tab completion in find file (C-x C-f) case
insensitive? I'm on Mac OS X with hsf+, so the filesystem is case
insensitive. I didn't find any options in M-x customize for this.

It depends on your Emacs version.
Starting with Emacs 22, see option `read-file-name-completion-ignore-case.
But in principle Emacs should do the right thing on your platform, without your
needing to do anything. Consider reporting a bug: `M-x report-emacs-bug',
providing information starting from `emacs -Q' (no init file).

Thanks. I don't know why I missed that, because I searched M-x
customize for "case".

I just tried it with -Q, and it works correctly there. Some
investigation shows that I actually had that variable set to nil in my
.emacs. I guess I misread it somewhere, or misclicked or something.

When looking for a user option, try `apropos-variable'.
In this case, `M-x apropos-variable RET case file RET'.

Does the search box at the top of M-x customize do the same thing?

Pretty much. But it finds faces as well as options.
