VI commands help

Hey guys im new to Linux and have been playing around with the VI editor but have a few questions

what would be the best way to delete all trailing ‘white space' (SPACE and TAB) at the end of all lines in the vi buffer.

and how would i go about searching for a word without regard to upper or lower case, so if i search for hello it would find HELLO and hello.

Any help would be appreciated.
