If you were using "like", you can use "ilike" instead. There is also
a case insensitive version of the regular expression pattern matching
operator. In some cases you may want to use the "lower" function
to get the data in just one case before doing a comparison. Without
seeing how you are doing your searches now it is hard to provide
specifics on what to do to make them case insensitive.
