How if a string is located ANYWHERE in another string

I know similar questions have been asked but before you down vote, hear me out.

If I want to check lets say if the string "Daniel" is located anywhere in "danielrydg123" ignoring capitals (should return true if the second string was "Danielrydg123" or "danielrydg123") how would I do this?

if "Daniel".lower() in "Danielrydg123".lower():
    print("found it")

Output:

found it

I suggest you review string methods

Additionally you can use .find() as @Bucket has pointed out, which would translate into an if statement like:

if "Danielrydg123".lower().find("Daniel".lower()) >= 0:
    print("found it")

Output:

found it

User find()

str1 = "123Danielrydg123"
str2 = "noPe"
sub = "daniel"
str1.lower().find(sub) # returns 3
str2.lower().find(sub) # returns -1
