Making jQuery selector/contains case insensitive

Just another stuff from work. There’s huge list to select people to be put into groups in the LMS. I added a javascript function for the user to type in a name and it will search and select a user in the list box.

I use Selector/contains for this but the problem is, it is case sensitive. That’s gonna be a problem to type in the exact case from the list. Here’s a snippet to extend the selector. 

jQuery.extend(
        jQuery.expr[':'], {
                contains : "jQuery(a).text().toUpperCase().indexOf(m[3].toUpperCase())>=0"
});

Took the snippet from StackOverflow, but it has a typo.
