Andrew - Sorry if you misunderstood me. It is not a debate. It is a simple explanation of how the method actually works. As the earlier example demonstrated, indexOf does not behave in a typeless manner - as most would expect from CF - and as arrayFind/FindNoCase do. So it does quite nicely for case sensitive string searches. But if you fail to account for its detection of data types, the results for numbers, dates, etcetera will frequently be wrong. So like any other function, it is important to understand how it operates so you can use it properly and avoid common gotchas.
