It seems to have been moved to lisp/obsolete [1: 1a2773ac2d] (so for
now, M-x load-library landmark RET M-x landmark does work).  There is a
comment in it saying

    ;; *Note: This package has now moved to elpa.gnu.org.*

Should we remove mention of it from the manual?

It's already removed in the manual that comes with Emacs 27.  Or maybe
I'm blind.

Ah, you removed it in Emacs 26 actually (I didn't find the commit before
because I did a git message search for 'landmark' but you put 'Landmark'
in the commit message.  I should add --regexp-ignore-case to log search
commands).

You need to either run 'install-info' for that, or customize
Info-default-directory-list to put the directory you want at the front
of the list.

My version is git 28.0.50, but maybe I was reading info of Emacs
version 25 installed on my system. I guess that is the problem, that I
don't know how to add proper info file to my paths.

Then bug should be closed.

Currently I'm working on making hi-lock case-insensitive in bug#40337,
and would be interested in ensuring git search case-insensitive as well.
When I tried to run

  M-x vc-log-search RET landmark

it found that commit with upper-case 'Landmark' using the command:

  git --no-pager log --no-color -i --grep=landmark .

I wonder if this -i (--regexp-ignore-case) here should use the same
logic as in many other search commands:

  (if (and case-fold-search search-upper-case)
      (isearch-no-upper-case-p regexp t)
    case-fold-search)

so if there are no upper-case letters, then vc-log-search is case-insensitive,
otherwise with upper-case letters case-sensitive?

BTW, I use the following nice customization that highlights all found
occurrences in the log:

  ;; Highlight found occurrences in *vc-search-log* output buffer of vc-log-search.
  ;; Warning: uses Emacs regexps to highlight Git regexp - their syntax might differ!
  (advice-add 'vc-git-log-search :after
              (lambda (buffer pattern)
                (with-current-buffer buffer
                  (vc-run-delayed
                    (highlight-regexp pattern 'hi-yellow)))))

and with fixes from bug#40337 it highlighted even 'Landmark'.

What I don't know is how to make this feature generally useful.
Maybe by adding a new customizable option for vc-git-log-search
that when non-nil will highlight the results?
