How to search an array in Jquery like SQL LIKE %value% statement -

I have an array with some values, how can I find that array by using jquery for any value Am I conforming to or near it?

  var a = ["foo", "fool", "cool", "god"];   
 If I want to search for  oo , then call it  foo ,  silly , and  > Cool  because this string has  oo .   
 
 
 Search the array to which you  jQuery.grep ()  Or  jQuery.map () . Using both callback functions, return new array with filtered elements.  
 The fastest implementation (case insensitive) is using  indexOf  and  toUpperCase  in the callback:  
  var Search_term = 'oo'; // Your search term string as var = search_term.toUpperCase (); Var array = jQuery.grep (a, function (value) {return value.toUpperCase (). IndexOf (Search)> = 0;});   
  If you do not need a case insensitive search, you can extract both to  .toUpperCase ()  for faster.   
 is more flexible but very slow (enough for small arrays) to use regular expression:  
  var search_term = "oo"; // search term var search = new RegExp (search_term, "i"); Var arr = jQuery.grep (A, function (value) {return search.test (value);});   
 or  
  var search_term = "oo"; // search term var search = new RegExp (search_term, "i"); Var arr = jQuery.map (a, function (value) {return value.match (search)} value: null;});   
  Regular expression allows you to make searches more complex than % value% . However do not use it if you do not need it because it is slow too many times.   
 You should get an array  arr  with the elements matched  
  Update:  Hard rigid To avoid search terms (as per the questions in the comments), the examples were changed and simplified the code
