Will probably make that a user-configurable item down the road, but off the top of my head I'm thinking that searches on both sites are case-insensitive anyway. I do it this way by default because of my color-blindness. Even with the ideal color (which the default is, for me), a search term doesn't "jump out" at me unless I bold and cap it. And I think I read somewhere that upwards of 30% of all males have some degree of color-blindness. Extremely rare in women. For now, a workaround that isn't ideal but might be good enough, is to look in the URL. I'm using a querystring called "srchtxt" or something like that. Backspace through that part of the URL (or add a nonsense character) and hit Enter, and you'll see the message in its natural state. FWIW, for any pranksters out there, you can put every word of a message in the "srchtxt" part of the URL and have the whole thing show up as blue, bold, and capitalized.
