Edited .vimrc

  • correctly do case-insensitive matching whether or not that is enabled as a default.
    By adding a ? to the end of the comparator.
  • fix light check to check for substring match, rather than exact string (=~ vs == typo)

see the "LOGIC OPERATIONS" section 41.4 of the vim documentation: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/usr_41.html
