来检查iPhone ContactApp中的前缀

([string rangeOfString:prefixString options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch].location == 0)

这个博客对我很有用

如果你想要更多的控制，而不仅仅是不区分大小写，另一个选择是:

[someString compare:otherString options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch];

数字搜索和变音符不敏感是两个方便的选择。

- (NSComparisonResult)caseInsensitiveCompare:(NSString *)aString

NSMutableArray *arrSearchData;  
NSArray *data=[arrNearByData objectAtIndex:i];
NSString *strValue=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [data valueForKey:@"restName"]];
NSRange r = [strValue rangeOfString:key options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch];

if(r.location != NSNotFound)
{
     [arrSearchData addObject:data];
}

if( [@"Some String" caseInsensitiveCompare:@"some string"] == NSOrderedSame ) {
  // strings are equal except for possibly case
}

文档位于搜索和比较方法

 NSString *stringA;
 NSString *stringB;

 if (stringA && [stringA caseInsensitiveCompare:stringB] == NSOrderedSame) {
     // match
 }

注意:stringA &&是必需的，因为当stringA为nil时:

 stringA = nil;
 [stringA caseInsensitiveCompare:stringB] // return 0

所以NSOrderedSame也被定义为0。

下面的例子是一个典型的陷阱:

 NSString *rank = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:@"Rank"];
 if ([rank caseInsensitiveCompare:@"MANAGER"] == NSOrderedSame) {
     // what happens if "Rank" is not found in standardUserDefaults
 }
