I'm usally doing this with eval:

Yuck :(

var bla = "How are u doin there?";
var search = "how";
bla.search(eval("/"+search+"/i"));

  

> This is not very nice ("eval is evil"), but it works.  
  
'It works' is no excuse for really bad code.  
  
~~~javascript
var bla = 'How are u doin there?';  
var searchstr = 'how';  
var reg = new RegExp(searchstr, 'i');  
bla.search(reg); // 0 

Cü,

Kai
