Description ytn01 2014-02-16 16:24:29 UTC 
It looks like JavaDoc index search is strictly case sensitive.
However, I believe there is no reason to perform a case-sensitive search.
Its more convenient to users to perform search without worrying about the exact cases for their query.

Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201402160001)
Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.9.1 running on x86_64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.0-b69
Comment 1 Kenneth Ganfield 2014-02-17 09:30:00 UTC 
reassigning this issue to someone who can decide on the sensitivity of the search. If it will remain case-sensitive it should be documented in the help topic.
Comment 2 Ralph Ruijs 2014-02-17 10:12:43 UTC 
Currently there is no possibility to switch to case-insensitive search.
