Jquery filter list without case sensitive

Question

I want to filter the list without case sensitive. I want to match only character not match upper case or lower case.

1. XXXXXXX
2. yyyyyyy
3. XXxxx

You need to use indexOf

$(this).text().search(value)

supposed to be

$(this).text().indexOf(value)

And why do you want to attach your event using the attribute tag.It is a bad practice and should be avoided.

You can use jQuery to attach the event.

$('input').keyup(function() {
    filter(this); 
});

function filter(element) {
    var value = $(element).val().toLowerCase();
    $("#theList > li").each(function () {
        var $this = $(this),
            lower = $this.text;
        if (lower.indexOf(value) > -1) {
            $this.show();
        } else {
            $this.hide();
        }
    });
}

Same function a little better using filter

function filter(element) {
    var value = $(element).val().toLowerCase();
    $("#theList > li").hide().filter(function() {
        return $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(value) > -1;
    }).show();
}
