Yes, and No!. It's best to keep all keywords in lower case. It seems that in lower case there is no particular sensivity, but if in upper case there does seem to be some?.

Uh, what? In lowercase there's no sensitivity, but in upper case there is some? That would mean, by definition, that they are case sensitive.

Anyway, I would also recommend keeping them lower case. At the least, most people seem to type into search engines in lower case.
