By default evil uses Emacs' built-in isearch functionality. This means
that default case sensitivity during searching is controlled by the
case-fold-search variable.

For more Vim-like search behaviour you can tell evil to use its own
search functionality via the evil-search-module variable [(setq
evil-search-module 'evil-search)].

This defaults to case insensitive searches, unless you include capital
letters in the search string, in which case the search becomes case
sensitive.

Hope that helps.
