Is there a faster way to make a case-insensitive search for substring, other than the obvious

subtext.lower() in text.lower()

I work on small texts. Specifically, titles.

What's wrong with that method? Have you profiled your code and indicated that line is your bottleneck? If not, don't worry about premature optimization. – Cory Kramer Mar 18 '18 at 18:17
