that looks like a nice way to do it, but I reckon we could make the lambda stuff a bit cleverer
ie modify the default find

eg
  if search_caseins:
    FINDER = lambda ob,p=lower(obj_searchterm): find(lower(ob.PrincipiaSearchSource()),p)
  else:
    FINDER = lambda ob,p=obj_searchterm: find(ob.PrincipiaSearchSource(), p)

and then we use

    FINDER(ob)
