Hello, I've a container of these objects: class Search { public: ... const std::string& getName() const {return name_;} }; I want to find a search in a case insensitive manner and this works: iter = std::find_if(searches.begin(),searches.end(), boost::bind(&boost::iequalsstd::string,std::string,boost::bind(&Search::getName,_1),searchName,std::locale())); However, I would've preferred to not have to specify the template parameters to iequals, and not have to specify the locale argument to iequals (it's optional). Is there a cleaner way to do this? Regards, Jim
