grep -i doesn't match upper-case letters in pattern to lower-case 
letters in the input.

**=> soup:/mit/qjb <=**
% echo "This line contains the letter Q." | grep -i q
This line contains the letter Q.
**=> soup:/mit/qjb <=**
% echo "This line contains the letter q." | grep -i Q
Done                 echo This line contains the letter q. |
Exit 1               grep -i Q

Exact matches work correctly.
