case insensitive like searches - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Is there a way to make Postgres do case insensitive like searches?  I
know you can use ilike instead, but I don't have control of the
software.  Is there a plan to enable this in the future?

Can I recompile Postgres to make like searches do the same as ilike, or
is it easier to create a new character encoding that will be case
insensitive?

Thanks,
Mark
