Find(): Case sensitive -Example: find("p", "aPpian", 1)---> Returns 3.

Search(): Case Insensitive- Example: search("p", "aPpian",1)---> Returns 2.

Both are doing one or same thing except that find is case sensitive.

Please correct if otherwise

HI Sindhu,

find() fuction returns index location of case-sensitive substring with given string. Returns the one-based location index of the first character of the first match

Ex: find("to","boston",1) returns 4

search() function searches the text for a particular substring, returning the positional index of the first character of the first match

Ex:find("to","boston",1) returns 1
note:The first character of the entire within_text value is considered to have an index = 1

Thanks and regards,
Vinod S N
