Andre gave one solution, but here is a toggling finction in (X)Emacs:
`isearch-toggle-case-fold' is an interactive compiled Lisp function
-- loaded from "isearch-mode.elc"
(isearch-toggle-case-fold)
Toggle case folding in searching on or off.
So invoking it as M-x isearch-toggle-case-fold you'll achieve the
objective.
Again, as Andre pointed out, using help always helps. One of the
greatest help engines I've ever seen is (hyper-)apropos. You could
have found the solution in seconds typing
C-h a search RET
and isearching for case a couple of times. No, this is not a flame,
it's a tip for the future.
