Subject: 24.4.50; (emacs) `Special Isearch'
Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2014 09:06:43 -0700 (PDT)

The node says this about case-sensitivity:

   If the search string you entered contains only lower-case letters,
  the search is case-insensitive; as long as an upper-case letter exists
  in the search string, the search becomes case-sensitive.  If you delete
  the upper-case character from the search string, it ceases to have this
  effect.  *Note Search Case::.

This is false.  This is only the _default_ behavior, i.e., the behavior
you get with the default value of `case-fold-search' (non-nil).  This is
a fine place to mention user option `case-fold-search' and point out
that IF its value is non-nil THEN... (this is the behavior you get).
