If "For more details" and "FOR MORE DETAILS" are the only casings that ever
appear, I agree that two searches are less work than a translation plus a
search. But if sometimes it is "for more details" or "For More Details" or
"For MORE Details," searching for only the first two won't work.
However, if your goal is reduce the load, you're working against yourself to
tell sed to keep reading in the rest of the input line by line only to throw
it away. This approach
sed -ne '/For more details/q' -e '/FOR MORE DETAILS/q' -ep
allows sed to exit when it is done with the output.
