What database are you having issues with?  With MySQL, 
searches are already case insensitive.

With postgres, the right thing to do, I believe, would be to use ILIKE.

That particular change is going to have to wait until after 2.0,
when DBIx::SearchBuilder.pm gets refactored to allow better per-driver
SQL customization.

...realized that the entire structure of the net could be changed to be made 
more efficient, elegant, and spontaneously make more money for everyone 
involved. It's a marvelously simple diagram, but this form doesn't have a way 
for me to draw it.  It'll wait. 				-Adam Hirsch
