LIKE is an "exact match" search. By setting the
filter to fopCaseInsensitive, you cause the WHERE clause to be

WHERE descr like '%INCLUSAO%'.

(Drop a monitor into your form to look at the query that goes across the wire).

Remove the fopCaseInsensitive attribute and use
CONTAINING instead. CONTAINING will match either
upper or lower case, *provided* there is an
appropriate COLLATE attribute on the searched column.

However, be aware that you will always get wrong
results if you attempt to do a case-insensitive
search on a database column that does not have the correct collation attribute.
