It sounds like writing a custom selector might be your best bet. You
should be able to do an exact, contains, and starts-with search,
depending on your needs.

this might be slow if you're handling large XML files, and it's
limited to single word searches or exact concatenated matches.

I don't recall the syntax for accessing an XML attribute from
javascript, so
the this.name part might be wrong. Maybe you need $(this).attr('name')
instead. Also, you might want to be doing more than just passing the
search
into a RegExp, but you get the idea.
Also, maybe reconsider what you're trying to do. Maybe just return your
xml
such that it's already been converted to lower case, then just do what
you
were doing before except use search.toLowerCase() instead of just
search.
Hope it helps.

How to make it INCASE-SENSITIVE?
