// Search string exist in employee name finding.
var empName:NSString! = employeeDetails[filterKeyString] as NSString

Case sensitve search.
let rangeOfSearchString:NSRange! = empName.rangeOfString(searchString, options: NSStringCompareOptions.CaseInsensitiveSearch)

// Not found.
if rangeOfSearchString.location != Foundation.NSNotFound
{
    // search string not found in employee name.
}
// Found
else
{
    // search string found in employee name.
}

Swift 4方法检查子字符串，包括必要的基础(或UIKit)框架导入:

import Foundation // or UIKit

let str = "Oh Canada!"

str.contains("Can") // returns true

str.contains("can") // returns false

str.lowercased().contains("can") // case-insensitive, returns true

除非Foundation(或UIKit)框架被导入，str.contains("Can")将给出一个编译器错误。

这个答案是在重复manojlds的答案，而manojlds的答案是完全正确的。我不知道为什么这么多答案要经历这么多麻烦来重建Foundation's String。contains(subString:字符串)方法。

在Xcode 7.1和Swift 2.1中，containsString()为我工作得很好。

let string = "hello swift"
if string.containsString("swift") {
    print("found swift")
}

斯威夫特4:

let string = "hello swift"
if string.contains("swift") {
    print("found swift")
}

一个不区分大小写的Swift 4示例:

let string = "Hello Swift"
if string.lowercased().contains("swift") {
    print("found swift")
}

或者使用不区分大小写的字符串扩展名:

extension String {
    func containsIgnoreCase(_ string: String) -> Bool {
        return self.lowercased().contains(string.lowercased())
    }
}

let string = "Hello Swift"
let stringToFind = "SWIFT"
if string.containsIgnoreCase(stringToFind) {
    print("found: \(stringToFind)")  // found: SWIFT
}
print("string: \(string)")
print("stringToFind: \(stringToFind)")

// console output:
found: SWIFT
string: Hello Swift
stringToFind: SWIFT

// Search string exist in employee name finding.
var empName:NSString! = employeeDetails[filterKeyString] as NSString

Case sensitve search.
let rangeOfSearchString:NSRange! = empName.rangeOfString(searchString, options: NSStringCompareOptions.CaseInsensitiveSearch)

// Not found.
if rangeOfSearchString.location != Foundation.NSNotFound
{
    // search string not found in employee name.
}
// Found
else
{
    // search string found in employee name.
}

在这里的所有答案中，我认为它们要么不工作，要么有点hack(转换回NSString)。这个问题的正确答案很可能随着不同的beta版本而改变。

以下是我使用的方法:

let string: String = "hello Swift"
if string.rangeOfString("Swift") != nil
{
    println("exists")
}

”!= nil”成为Beta 5的要求。

在iOS 8和更新版本中，你可以使用这两个NSString方法:

@availability(iOS, introduced=8.0)
func containsString(aString: String) -> Bool

@availability(iOS, introduced=8.0)
func localizedCaseInsensitiveContainsString(aString: String) -> Bool
