How to check if a String contains another String in a case insensitive manner in Java?

Say I have two strings,

String s1 = \"AbBaCca\";
String s2 = \"bac\";

I want to perform a check returning that s2 is contained

If you have to search an ASCII string in another ASCII string, such as a URL, you will find my solution to be better. I've tested icza's method and mine for the speed and here are the results:

• Case 1 took 2788 ms - regionMatches
• Case 2 took 1520 ms - my

The code:

public static String lowerCaseAscii(String s) {
    if (s == null)
        return null;

    int len = s.length();
    char[] buf = new char[len];
    s.getChars(0, len, buf, 0);
    for (int i=0; i= 'A' && buf[i] <= 'Z')
            buf[i] += 0x20;
    }

    return new String(buf);
}

public static boolean containsIgnoreCaseAscii(String str, String searchStr) {
    return StringUtils.contains(lowerCaseAscii(str), lowerCaseAscii(searchStr));
}
