Find child object that Contains string from list

Hi!

I am trying to achieve following Player inputs text > text compared to List of children of an object > If child in list Contains input text > Change material of that child.

However, having a bunch of issues with this. Got it working if the exact term is entered, however I specifically need that all children that Contain input term are changed. Also, I would have a requirement that the search is case insensitive.

Code that I have attempted (no errors returned but it simply does not find any children).

 public Material glowmat;
 public Transform ImportedModel;
 private Transform founditem;

             var list = ImportedModel.GetComponentsInChildren<string>();
             for (int i = 3; i < list.Length; i++)

                     if (list[i].Contains(text))
                     {
                     founditem = ImportedModel.transform.GetChild(i);
                     founditem.GetComponent<Renderer>().material = glowmat;
                     displaytext.text = founditem.ToString();
                     }
                     else
                     {
                     displaytext.text = "none";
                     }

Help is kindly appreciated!
