Clark;

OK thanks for the whack on the head…

I had managed to convince myself that there was something about the utf8 umlats and all that I wasn't understanding …

No the problem was simply that there was a trailing space at the end of tString -> 'Geschäftsführer (CEO) '

Thanks for your time!

Both
       curPos = [thePhrase rangeOfString: tString
options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch].location;

AND

       NSLocale *tLocale = [[[NSLocale alloc]
initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"de_DE"] autorelease];
       curPos = [thePhrase rangeOfString: tString
options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [thePhrase length])
locale:tLocale].location;

yield curPos == NSNotFound

Here's some printout from the console:
Printing description of thePhrase:
Gesch\u00e4ftsf\u00fchrer (CEO):

Printing description of tString:
Gesch\u00e4ftsf\u00fchrer (CEO)

What am I not understanding here?

Something else must be going on. I've just tried to replicate your
situation, and had no problems:

[c...@ccox-shiny:~]% cat test.m
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>


int main() {
   NSString    *thePhrase  = @"Geschäftsführer (CEO):";
   NSString    *tString    = @"Geschäftsführer (CEO)";

   NSRange     range       = [thePhrase rangeOfString: tString
options: NSCaseInsensitiveSearch];

   NSLog(@"thePhrase   = \"%...@\"", thePhrase);
   NSLog(@"tString     = \"%...@\"", tString);
   NSLog(@"range       = %@", NSStringFromRange(range));

   return 0;
}
[c...@ccox-shiny:~]% cc test.m -framework Foundation -fobjc-gc && ./ a.out 2009-10-04 14:17:04.981 a.out[7705:903] thePhrase = "Geschäftsführer (CEO):" 2009-10-04 14:17:04.983 a.out[7705:903] tString = "Geschäftsführer (CEO)"
2009-10-04 14:17:04.983 a.out[7705:903] range       = {0, 21}
