i have a code and its responsible for the search field to search for data in mysql table. issue is its case sensitive, i have looked at the author site and somewhere they suggest to change from LIKE to ILIKE, however this causes search not to work
/*
* Filtering
* NOTE this does not match the built-in DataTables filtering which does it
* word by word on any field. It's possible to do here, but concerned about efficiency
* on very large tables, and MySQL's regex functionality is very limited
