faster case-insensitive search
The findInString(where, what string) function implements a case-insensitive search by converting both strings to lowercase using strings.ToLower() and then using the inbuilt strings.Index() function. However, the strings.ToLower() function is expensive as it needs to allocate new memory to construct a string.
This diff attempts to optimize findInString() implementation by avoiding the construction of any new strings in the implementation.
The results of the BenchmarkFormat test show ~35-40% improvement.
