A bit silly to put this with no information of what I've done so far but here it is and I think it works well.

var contents = [ "Lancaster University offers degree programmes and world class research.", "An alternative University", "Yet another University"];
 
 function match(string, pattern){
 var string= string.toUpperCase();
 var pattern= pattern.toUpperCase();
 for(var k= 0; k&lt; pattern.length; k++){
 if(string.indexOf(pattern[k])&lt;0)
 return false;
 }
 return true;  }
 
 function matchContents(contents,pattern)
 { var index=[];
 for(var i=0;i&lt;contents.length;i++)
 {
 if(match(contents[i],pattern))
 index[index.length]=i;
 }
 return index;
 }
 
 alert("["+ matchContents(contents,"LU")+"]"); //returns [0,1]
 alert("["+ matchContents(contents,"other")+"]"); //returns [0,2]

If there are any adjustments I can make please let me know!

Here is the single function version:

&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
 &lt;html lang="en"&gt;
 &lt;head&gt;
 &lt;meta charset="utf-8" /&gt;
 &lt;title&gt;&lt;/title&gt;
 &lt;/head&gt;
 &lt;body&gt;
 
 <i>	</i>	&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
 
 <i>	</i>		var contents = ['Lancaster University offers degree programmes and world class research.', 'An alternative University', 'Yet another University'];
 
 <i>	</i>		function matchContents(contents, pattern)
 <i>	</i>		{
 <i>	</i>			var
 <i>	</i>				results = [], string,
 <i>	</i>				i, j;
 
 <i>	</i>			pattern = pattern.toLowerCase();
 <i>	</i>			for (i = 0; i &lt; contents.length; ++i) {
 <i>	</i>				string = contents[i].toLowerCase();
 <i>	</i>				for (j = 0; j &lt; pattern.length; ++j) {
 <i>	</i>					if (string.indexOf(pattern.charAt(j)) &lt; 0) {
 <i>	</i>						break;
 <i>	</i>					}
 <i>	</i>				}
 <i>	</i>				if (j &gt;= pattern.length) {
 <i>	</i>					results.push(i);
 <i>	</i>				}
 <i>	</i>			}
 <i>	</i>			return results;
 <i>	</i>		}
 
 <i>	</i>		alert(matchContents(contents, 'LU')); //returns [0,1]
 <i>	</i>		alert(matchContents(contents, 'other')); //returns [0,2]
 
 <i>	</i>	&lt;/script&gt;
 
 <i>	</i>&lt;/body&gt;
 &lt;/html&gt;
