case insensitve SQL search is possible




LCASE(str) 
LOWER(str) 
       Returns the string str with all characters changed to lowercase
according to the current character set mapping (the default is ISO-8859-1
Latin1). This function is
       multi-byte safe. 

       mysql> select LCASE('QUADRATICALLY');
               -> 'quadratically'


So all we have to do is take the user input and convert it to all lower
case, and then use "select LCASE" to do case insensitive matching.  Cool.
