Research direction
Reproduce the search with the four values abc, Abc, aBc, and abC in Vimium 2.4.0 on Brave/Chromium, including the /abc\I pattern. Then trace Vimium's search handling to determine why the pattern does not select only lowercase abc; done means the requested case-sensitive search behaves as described.
