Hi all,

I have followed the tutorial on Kirupa for an XML based search but I now need the search facility to recognise the search phrase regardless of uppercase or lowercase letters.

The tutorial is named [SIZE=2][COLOR=Black]"**[FONT=Verdana]Introduction[/FONT]**[/COLOR][/SIZE][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=4][COLOR=#003366][SIZE=2][COLOR=Black] to XML in Flash" and the url is:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/examples/searchbestof.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/examples/searchbestof.htm)

The closest I can get is:

```
var nodesWithQuery = SearchXML(
                      //array of elements to be searched
                            posts_xml.firstChild.childNodes.toLowerCase(),
                      //what is to be searched
                            search_fields.query_txt.text.toLowerCase(),
                      //an array of elements within the elements searched...to be searched
                            searchElements
                        );

```

But to no avail

Thanks in advance.
