Unfortunately, it looks like org-search-view is hard-coded to be
case-insensitive. I think a very hackish workaround would be to advise
org-search-view to create and then remove an "around" advice that wraps
re-search-forward in a "let" declaration setting case-fold-search to
nil. But this would be a fairly horrific hack.

In the long run, I believe the Org Mode code would need to be changed to
make this customizable.

Best,
