search
search(string, chars, [start])
Search for the first occurrence of the given characters within the given string. The second argument may be a single character, a vector or a set of characters, a string, or a regular expression (though regular expressions are only allowed on contiguous strings, such as ASCII or UTF-8 strings). The third argument optionally specifies a starting index. The return value is a range of indexes where the matching sequence is found, such that s[search(s,x)] == x:
search(string, "substring") = start:end such that string[start:end] == "substring", or 0:-1 if unmatched.
search(string, 'c') = index such that string[index] == 'c', or 0 if unmatched.
