Description

The STRTOLOWER() function converts the characters in the character expression <expC> to lower case. This function is particularly useful if used in index keys and their corresponding SEEK expressions, since a search expression in lower case will match both upper and lower case characters.

? strtolower("Lianja")
lianja

use accounts
index on strtolower(company) to company
replace company with "Company Name"
seek "company name"
? found()
