[Zope] case insensitive searches

[Maggie Shapland]

you didnt read the rest of the message or my example. Its all very well
using the sql lower function, but if you cant force the user to type 
the input in lower case you are wasting your time. However, I have now 
cracked it, as a later message to the group shows, but only in the 
report dtml, not in the sql method. See my web page for further details
