Background

Find As You Type (or Type Ahead Find as it was originally called) allows you to start finding text on the page immediately by simply typing the text you’re trying to find. In Firefox, this functionality is closely tied to the Find Bar. Firefox 2.0 includes some changes to the Find Bar; for example, an Emacs-like case-sensitivity mode is now available. This preference determines how case-sensitivity is handled.
