Not for 'contains' : that's always been case-insensitive.

In OS X (i.e. since AS 1.6), volume names in file paths have been
case-sensitive and were made so in AS 1.8.3 for OS 9 for compatibility.

AS v1.9.2 - OS 10.3 - the 'offset' scripting addition, which had previously
been case-sensitive and could not be adjusted, was made case-insensitive and
now responds to ignoring/considering case.


AFAIK, the only string command or operator which is case-sensitive (aside
from volume names in file paths) is text item delimiters, which cannot be
made case-insensitive.

Anyway, you don't need an 'ignoring case' for 'contains', since that's the
default. 'considering case' will work with it if that's what you want (not
here).
