Hi Ravindra:

I don't think InstantDb provides case incensive search (with index).  However, I 
use a stupid way to work around it, which is:

1). Create and load another column for lowercase names in your database table 
(address).  Let's call this new column as "nameLC".

2). Before you submit the query, lowercase it and then submit the SQL:

SELECT * from address where nameLC="david"

It works but requires extra column and index.
