compare strings case insensitive?

I want to compare and search strings case insensitively. But I only see code that use indexOf() or comparison signs for comparing, which is case sensitive. Is there any methods or ways to do the comparison which is case insensitive?

you convert both string to upper (or lower) case and compare
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://zeroturnaround.com/jrebel - it saves me about five hours per week
