 | This template is used on approximately 239,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. Preview message: Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation). |
 | This template uses Lua: |
{{strfind short|target|string}} outputs the position in target where string first appears (e.g. an output of "3" would mean beginning at the third character in target). If string is not found, it outputs zero (0). The word "short" in the title is a relic of the pre-Lua implementation and has no meaning for the current version. This template is a simple wrapper around {{#invoke:string|find}}, which may be used directly for more options.
Examples[edit]
Use {{#ifexpr}} to concisely determine if this outputs zero, which lets you check if one string contains another. For example, Does "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (film)" contain "on the"?
