Case insensitive fuzzy search of title in filter?

[MagoArcade]

Hi - I'm trying to write a fuzzy search routine. At the moment I only know how to search on the Prefix, but this only returns results on exact prefix matches of precise case. What I'm aiming for is something like below. 

Let's say I have 3 tiddlers:

"The cat sat on the mat"

"Cat littler needed"

"Fight like fish and dog"

If I type "cat" into the search box, it should return:

"The cat sat on the mat"

"Cat littler needed"

Present code (abridged + working code with debug}:

\define SearchTerm()
[prefix[{{$:/state/ItemSearch}}]]
\end


<!-- SET SUB ITEM -->


Set Parent Item:


<$edit-text tiddler="$:/_opTaskStore" field="itemsearch" tag="input" default="" class='tc-edit-texteditor' placeholder='Test text'/>


<$button set="$:/state/ItemSearch" setTo={{$:/_opTaskStore!!itemsearch}}>Search</$button>


test: {{$:/state/ItemSearch}}


macrod: <<SearchTerm>>


<$wikify name="SearchTermWikid" text=<<SearchTerm>> >


wikid: <<SearchTermWikid>>


<$select field="SearchTermDD" class="tw-edit-texteditor myTextEdit">
<$list filter=<<SearchTermWikid>> >
<option value=<<currentTiddler!!title>>><$view field='title'/></option>
</$list>
</$select>


</$wikify>

Thanks all. I'd forgotten about regex, which solved it:

\define SearchTerm(term)
(?i)($term$)

\end


<!-- SET SUB ITEM -->


Set Parent Item:


<$edit-text tiddler="$:/_opTaskStore" field="itemsearch" tag="input" default="" class='tc-edit-texteditor' placeholder='Test text'/>


<$button set="$:/state/ItemSearch" setTo={{$:/_opTaskStore!!itemsearch}}>Search</$button>


test: {{$:/state/ItemSearch}}

<$wikify name="SearchTermWikid" text=<<SearchTerm {{$:/state/ItemSearch}}>> >

wikid: <<SearchTermWikid>>


<$select field="SearchTermDD" class="tw-edit-texteditor myTextEdit">

<$list filter="[regexp:<SearchTermWikid>]" emptyMessage="No Results" >

<option value=<<currentTiddler!!title>>><$view field='title'/></option>
</$list>
</$select>


</$wikify>

The "(?i)" in the regex makes it case insensitive.
