How to create a discord.js bot command and find it anywhere in the response from a user?

Right now I have it so below if just the bots username is said, I'd like for if a user said the bots username anywhere below in a message the bot would see it.

Likewise this would be a learning experiment for me to understand how to do this with other words as well, like how to find a message with AAPL inside of it, my next step would be to find it in lower case or with one letter capped, etc. 

 if (message.content.startsWith("<@554504420206051328>")) {
    message.channel.send('My advice to you, is buy AAPL.');
  } else

The .includes() function is the one you are looking for :

if (message.content.includes("<@554504420206051328>")) {
  message.channel.send('My advice to you, is buy AAPL.');
}

You can check this function documentation if you want more information.

Now for the second part of your question (searching for AAPL in a message), it is practically the same as the first :

if (message.content.toLowerCase().includes("aapl")) {
  message.channel.send('I found AAPL');
}

The .toLowerCase() function puts the content of the message caught in lower case. So when you are looking for aapl, you are actually looking for AAPL, aapl, Aapl, etc.
