jQuery: get all children whose ID contains part of string

I have a set of links:

<div id="parent">
   <a id="UserFirst" href="#"></a>
   <a id="UserSecond" href="#"></a>
   <a id="UserThird" href="#"></a>
</div>

I need a quick way of getting (for example) all the a children of #parent, whose ID contains the letter i.

How can I do it?

Use an attribute selector:

a[id*="i"]

Or .filter():

$('a').filter(function() {
    return this.id.indexOf('a') !== -1;
});
