I am using Parse.com and access it using Javascript. I want to search data in such a manner that it will not search for case sensitive like if i search abc then it will give abc, Abc, ABC,aBc etc all. but currently it gives only abc.

JavaScript:

var search_data="Temp";
var product = Parse.Object.extend("product");
var query = new Parse.Query(product);

query.contains("name",search_data); 
query.find({
     success: function(results) {
        console.log("Total Product Found : "+results.length);
        printSearchProducts(results,query); //custom method to print product detail
     },
     error: function(error) {
         console.log("Error: " + error.code + " " + error.message);
     }
 });

Actual Result: Temp1,Temp2,Temp3,ProductTemp3,Temp4Product etc.
Required Result: Temp1,Temp2,Temp3,ProductTemp3,Temp4Product,temp5,producttemp6,TEMP7,tEMp8 etc.

I have solved this issue.
I remove constraint query.contains("name",search_data); and apply manual search using java script inside printSearchProducts method like:

var search_data="Temp";
var product = Parse.Object.extend("product");
var query = new Parse.Query(product);
query.limit(500);
query.find({
    success: function(results) {
         printSearchProducts(results,query,search_data); 
    }, 
    error: function(error) {
         console.log("Error: " + error.code + " " + error.message);
   } 
});

printSearchProducts Method Where search manually via Java Script.

function printSearchProducts(results,query,search_data) {
    var counter = results.length; 
    var productName = '',i=0; 
    search_data = search_data.toLowerCase(); 
    if(counter){
        while(i<counter){>
            var found = -1;
            productName = results[i].get("name");
            var lower_name = productName.replace(/[^a-zA-Z]/g,'_').toLowerCase();
            found = lower_name.indexOf(search_data);
            if(found>=0) {
                  //Access or print the required result here 
            } 
            i++;
        }
    }  
}
