Use case insensitive search in Taskwarrior

Context
As anything with Taskwarrior, everytime I feel like I'm missing something, I'm proven wrong.
The last example is with case insensitive search: by default, when searching TW with task _search_, you have to input it correctly, e.g. an entry with "Example" will not show if you search for "example".
Solution
The taskwarrior doc has a section about Filters.
There's just a typo in the example, which says:
task rc.seach.case.sensitive:no <search>
when it should be:
task rc.search.case.sensitive:no
Making it the default
Just add the below to your taskrc to make case insensitive search the default:
search.case.sensitive=no
