Search a string in JavaScript

The indexOf() method returns the position of the first occurrence of a specified string value in a string.

stringObject.indexOf(searchvalue,fromindex) 
searchvalue Required. Specifies a string value to search for
fromindex Optional. Specifies where to start the search

Tips and Notes
Note: The indexOf() method is case sensitive!

Note: This method returns -1 if the string value to search for never occurs.

Example
In this example we will do different searches within a "Hello world!" string:
<script type="text/javascript">
var str="Hello world!";
document.write(str.indexOf("Hello") + "<br />");
document.write(str.indexOf("World") + "<br />");
document.write(str.indexOf("world"));
</script> 
The output of the code above will be:

0
-1
6
