The RegExp `flags` property is replaced with the much better supported `ignoreCase` property in this change.

https://caniuse.com/mdn-javascript_builtins_regexp_flags
https://caniuse.com/mdn-javascript_builtins_regexp_ignorecase

We don't have automated tests for the search script on browsers. I have tested the change by running `test/langtools/jdk/javadoc/doclet/testSearchScript/TestSearchScript.java` with GraalJS as well as doing manual testing with current Firefox, Safari, Chrome as well as IE 11 and Edge 44.
