I agree that a filter function is probably the way to go, but a
regular expression within it might be more flexible:
$('something').filter(function() {
return (/value/i).test( $(this).attr('attribute'));
});
substitute your own value and attribute for the placeholders, of course.

I don't think there is any simple way, but a filter function should
do what you need.

I might have this off a bit, but something like this, I think would
do it:
var target = myValue.toLowerCase()
$("#container *").filter(function(index) {
var attr = $(this).attr(myAttribute);
return !attr || attr.toLowerCase().indexOf(target) == -1;
}).doSomething();
