+Determines if the `pattern` matches with `str`.
+
+Use `String.toLowerCase()` to convert both strings to lowercase, then loop through `str` and determine if it contains all characters of `pattern` and in the correct order.
+Adapted from [here](https://github.com/forrestthewoods/lib_fts/blob/80f3f8c52db53428247e741b9efe2cde9667050c/code/fts_fuzzy_match.js#L18).

+``` js
+const isSimilar = (pattern, str) =>
+	[...str].reduce(
+		(matchIndex, char) => char.toLowerCase() === (pattern[matchIndex]  || '').toLowerCase() ? matchIndex + 1 : matchIndex, 0
+	) === pattern.length ? true : false;
+```

+
+``` js
+isSimilar('rt','Rohit'); // true
+isSimilar('tr','Rohit'); // false
