Idiom #133 Case-insensitive string contains

Set boolean ok to true if string word is contained in string s as a substring, even if the case doesn't match, or to false otherwise.

ok = s.match?( /#{word}/i )
#include <algorithm>

auto ok = std::search(std::begin(s), std::end(s), std::begin(word), std::end(word),
    [](auto c, auto d){
        return std::tolower(c) == std::tolower(d);
    }
) != std::end(s);
bool ok = s.ToLower().Contains(word.ToLower());
import std.string;
ok = indexOf(word, s, CaseSensitive.no) != -1;

  character (len=*), intent(in) :: string, substr
  integer :: i,j, c1, c2, u_i

Do you know the best way to do this in your language ?
