I'd like to search for an upper case word, for example COPYRIGHT in a file. I tried performing a search like:
/copyright/i # Doesn't work
but it doesn't work. I know that in Perl, if I give the i
flag into a regex it will turn the regex into a case-insensitive regex. It seems that Vim has its own way to indicate a case-insensitive regex.

You can use the
\c
escape sequence anywhere in the pattern. For example:/\ccopyright
or/copyright\c
or even/copyri\cght
To do the inverse (case sensitive matching), use
\C
(capital C) instead.
