How do I search through a file for a word in a case insensitive manner?
For example
If I'm searching for UpdaTe
in the file, if the file contains update, the search should pick it and count it as a match.
strings.EqualFold()
can check if two strings are equal, while ignoring case. It even works with Unicode. See http://golang.org/pkg/strings/#EqualFold for more info.

package main
import (
"fmt"
"strings"
)
func main() {
fmt.Println(strings.EqualFold("HELLO", "hello"))
fmt.Println(strings.EqualFold("ÑOÑO", "ñoño"))
}
Both return true.
