Introduced to this years ago by a colleague, but it's still my favorite little alias.

#Add to ~/.bashrc  
alias psg='ps aux | grep -v grep | grep -i'  
#Source the updated bashrc(or relog)  
source ~/.bashrc  
#I prefer to not be case sensitive, example:  
[jpyth@arch-jpyth ~]$ psg fire  
jpyth 16131 12.7 3.7 1463388 607748 ? Sl Mar25 367:33
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox  
[jpyth@arch-jpyth ~]$ psg FiRe  
jpyth 16131 12.7 3.7 1463388 607748 ? Sl Mar25 367:33
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox  
[jpyth@arch-jpyth ~]$
