I'm happy with what I've got working at the moment tho you guys would 
probably improve it.  Pardon my personal jargon but:

local vvar=$( basename $cc[$aa] 2> /dev/null )

if   [[ "$scope_msg" = 'BROAD' && $vvar = (#i)*$filter* ]]; then
elif [[ "$scope_msg" = 'Case INsensitive TAME' && $vvar:u = $filter:u 
]]; then
elif [[ "$scope_msg" = 'Case Sensitive WILD' && $vvar =~ $filter ]]; then
elif [[ "$scope_msg" = 'EXACT' && $vvar = $filter ]]; then
else cc[$aa]=
fi

... the function let's me search for directories with automatic 
wildcards and/or case sensitivity  or both or neither.  The four 
combinations seem well handled above.  The construction is still clumsy, 
I'll fix it shortly.
