Description
As reported by @mehmetgiritli, it would be helpful if searches for e.g., /references?filter=authors.lastname HAS "Evans" could be done case-insensitively... I'm not sure where the spec lies on this but it's certainly useful from a user perspective.

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by reading the OPTIMADE search specification and tracing how the HAS filter is handled for /references?filter=authors.lastname HAS "Evans"; confirm whether case-insensitive matching is permitted before locating the implementation. Done means the behavior is specified and the example search works case-insensitively with coverage for the relevant search path.
