I like that idea! A corresponding 'end-with' would be really useful
(certainly in English, where the name usually comes before the function,
e.g. "Strathcarron Station").

That's not the best way to do a case-insensitive test - the reason being
that in some languages (e.g. French, I think) upper case letters have no
accents. So "Ecole" should match "école" (again, excuse my poor French
if necessary!). Also, in German, "Straße" should match "STRASSE".
Conversion of both values to uppercase is therefore a better simple
solution.
(I was surprised to find that java.text.Collator doesn't have an indexOf()
method - that's where I'd expect to do locale-dependent matching).
To do it properly, look at java.util.regexp - something like:
/--------
| searchPattern = Pattern.compile(Pattern.quote(arg.trim()),
| Pattern.UNICODE_CASE | Pattern.CANON_EQ);
| ...
| if (searchPattern.matcher(value).matches())
