Idiom #133 Case-insensitive string contains

Set boolean ok to true if string word is contained in string s as a substring, even if the case doesn't match, or to false otherwise.

import "strings"
lowerS, lowerWord := strings.ToLower(s), strings.ToLower(word)
ok := strings.Contains(lowerS, lowerWord)

Package strings has no case-insensitive version of Contains, so we have to convert to lowercase (or uppercase) first.
#include <algorithm>
#include <cctype>
auto ok = std::search(std::begin(s), std::end(s), std::begin(word), std::end(word),
    [](auto c, auto d){
        return std::tolower(c) == std::tolower(d);
    }
) != std::end(s);
