Initial Code

$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
$xpath->registerNamespace("php", "http://php.net/xpath");
$xpath->registerPHPFunctions('strtolower');
$query = "/root/item[contains(@name_es,'$term') or contains(php:functionString('strtolower',@name_es),'$term')]";

Initial Description

I'm using this out of laziness.
PHP is slowing things down here, since it's not as close to C as XPath.
A better solution would be to have an attribute specifically for search purposes (either in upper or lowercase).
