Lets take I have a row something like this

I love  to work with Jquery.

If I enter my search text as jquery its not highlighting Jquery. But my query should work in both they way regardless of CAPS or SMALL letters.

use .toUpperCase() ............. // or lowerCase

  if ($(this).text().toUpperCase().indexOf(htext.toUpperCase()) != -1) {

This one should work, I believe:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#btnhighlight").click(function() {
        var htext = $("#txthighlighttext").val().toLowerCase();

        if (htext === '') {
            alert("Please enter the search item.");
            return false;
        }

        $("#lstCodelist option").each(function() {
            var $this = $(this);

            if ($this.text().toLowerCase().indexOf(htext) !== -1) {
                $this.addClass('searchItem');
            } else {
                $this.removeClass('searchItem');
            }
        });
    });
});

Sidenote: indexOf is proven to be faster than search.
