[Boost-users] std::find_if with bind and iequals to create predicate

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::iequals<std::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
