But if I'm searching by title words, say for a word like "apocalypse", I am not sure I should type a truncated "Apocal" or "apocal". My bib files contain titles with first letters in upper- and lowercase. It would be great to be able to do a case insensitive search.

the commands

- “Label Based on Current Word / Selection…”,
- “Citation Based on Current Word / Selection…” and
- “Citation (Ref-TeX Style)” 

all support regex as input. That means you can search for “Apocal” or ”apocal” by selecting the word “[Aa]pocal” before you invoke the command. You could also do a case insensitive regex search by selecting “(?i)apocal”.

Since this is not obvious, we now use a case insensitive regex search by default — see commit e62abbff [1]. You can *deactivate* this feature by setting the variable `TM_LATEX_SEARCH_CASE_SENSITIVE`. For more information please take a look at the commit message [1].
