Lodash is one of the option, it is handy but it is also quite old, f/e developer nowadays are tend to not use it in their source code, you can see more here https://thejs.dev/jmitchell/its-time-to-let-go-of-lodash-nqc

I can see you removed the function pickFromArray, actually you can use it to find a random element from your json array.

res.send(pickFromArray(quotes));

Will this work if we give a capital character to term? like quotes/search?term=ABCD

if we want to search in case insensitive, we can consider Regular Expression, here is a example

// Function to search using regular expression
function searchWithRegex(array, term) {
  const regex = new RegExp(term, 'i'); // 'i' for case-insensitive search
  return array.filter(item => regex.test(item));
}

// Perform the search and store the result in a new array
const searchResult = searchWithRegex(arrayToSearch, req.query.term);
res.send(searchResult);
