How to find a string occurrence in another string

Question

One way to check if string contains text:

text = 'somewhere over the rainbow'
keyword = 'Rainbow'

if keyword.lower() in str(text).lower():
    print 'yes, it is'

Is there a shorter way?

"a more elegant way of doing the same" You don't find `inner.lower() in outer.lower()` elegant? Boy, don't spend too much time in other languages! :D — Adam Smith, Oct 08 '17 at 23:25

You can use the find() method:

if text.lower().find(keyword.lower()) != -1:
    print 'yes, it is'
