Turning on case-insensitive search in org-roam

Not sure if this has happened just recently, or I've been living with it for a long time, but: case sensitive node search in org-roam was starting to bug me.

It's actually not anything specific to org-roam - it comes from the completion engine.

1. Spacemacs

Turns out that it's Helm that is doing it, when set to the 'smart' completion algorithm.

I just need to (setq helm-case-fold-search t) and all is good - much smoother completion experience.

2. Doom

In Doom, out of the box the completion engine is vertico. 

(after! org-roam
  (setq read-file-name-completion-ignore-case t
        read-buffer-completion-ignore-case t
        completion-ignore-case t))
