Thanks for pointing this out. But boy is it complicated: I have: org-occur-case-fold-search is a variable defined in `org.el'. Its value is t Documentation: Non-nil means `org-occur' should be case-insensitive. If set to `smart' the search will be case-insensitive only if it doesn't specify any upper case character. and indeed, if I use M-x org-occur <RET> FOO in my FOO/foo buffer, both instances are found. But it does not seem to apply to multi-occur, which 'C-c a /' is said to use: both 'C-c a /' and 'M-x multi-occur' for 'FOO' only list 'FOO'... > We could implement something similar with, e.g., > `org-agenda-search-view-case-fold-search'.

I would even expect a regexp search within an Org buffer to behave exactly like a regexp search within a plain emacs buffer, but I would understand if this not reasonable to ask for. Regards, a. PS: in the org-occur docstring: org-occur is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `org.el'. (org-occur REGEXP &optional KEEP-PREVIOUS CALLBACK) Make a compact tree which shows all matches of REGEXP. The tree will show the lines where the regexp matches, and any other context defined in `org-show-context-detail', which see. the last sentence above looks grammatically/syntactically funny to me. Maybe this is because of my insufficient level in English -- I just don't understand what "which see" is supposed to mean. If the English is indeed correct, maybe a reformulation would be in order, for the sake of non native people. -- EOST (École et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre) IPG (Institut de Physique du Globe) | alain.coch...@unistra.fr 5 rue René Descartes [bureau 106] | Phone: +33 (0)3 68 85 50 44 F-67084 Strasbourg Cedex, France | Fax: +33 (0)3 68 85 01 25
