Does anyone know of a way to make it not case-sensitive, either by
changing the data type (obviously without breaking the current
functionality) or a Select Rule or any other method?
My suggestion would be to write a trigger and use tsearch to setup a
full text index. Even if you manage a case-insensitive search method,
I doubt it will be useful unless you always plan to have a small
number of messages to search.
