output the path for files whose names include string "string" (case insensitive)

Hi

I cannot figure out a way to do the job described in the title.
I couldn't find an option for command find to ingore case, while I cannot output the path name using command ls -R | grep.
Can anybody give me some suggestion?

Many thanks.
