Case insensitive search in man pages
Is it possible to do case insensitive search in man pages?
I can press, 'v' to get into the editor and then search after setting,
":set ignorecase'. Is there any direct way of achieving it?

Set:
PAGER=less
LESS=i
in your environment. See less(1) for more details.

If you have a modern "more" you can get the same effect by setting
MORE=-i

You can also toggle case sensitivity within less by typing "-i"
(minus, then "i").
Other pagers that support case insensitive search: most, w3m
