[webkit-dev] YARR example

[Michael Saboff]

Ognian,

For the search to be case insensitive, you add an 'i' to the end of the regular expression.  The replace will be whatever string to have for the second argument.  See http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_replace.asp for an example of case-insensitive search/replace.
