BUG - $search query param is not case insensitive

[swayongshen]

Description

Not sure if this is intended or not, but in a CAP server, the $search URL query param results in case-insensitive search, but in the mockserver its case-sensitive. So we have a different behavior when developing locally versus when interacting with the backend.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Send a OData v4 request containing a $search param.

Expected results

Should return results based on case-insensitive matching.

Actual results

Return results with case-sensitive matching.

Not a bug per se because in the end the odata specification is pretty clear that search is kind of up to the implementation :)

Example 107: all products that are blue or green. It is up to the service to decide what makes a product blue or green.
http://host/service/Products?$search=blue OR green

That being said you can override the search behavior by implementing the checkSearchQuery on your mock data file.

The base implementation is just doing a string.includes :)

here is the signature of the method, let me know if this helps checkSearchQuery(mockValue: any, searchQuery: string, odataRequest: ODataRequest): boolean
