index() vs find()

[cosmid]

It seems everything that index() can do, find() can do better. so when should you use index() instead of find()?

Thanks

To not break existing code?

You find that it makes the code clearer. Note the result value of either is the INDEX into the source of where the search string as found.

Perhaps it is faster? Run some timing tests and see.

FIND has a few more features than INDEX.
