ArrayList contains case sensitivity

I am currently using the contains method belonging to the ArrayList class for making a search. Is there a way to make this search case insensitive in java? I found that in C

If you're using Java 8, try:

List list = ...;
String searchStr = ...;
boolean containsSearchStr = list.stream().filter(s -> s.equalsIgnoreCase(searchStr)).findFirst().isPresent();
