ES6 - search()
This method executes the search for a match between a regular expression and this String object.
Syntax
string.search(regexp);
Argument Details
regexp − A regular expression object. If a non-RegExp object obj is passed, it is implicitly converted to a RegExp by using new RegExp(obj).
Return Value
If successful, the search returns the index of the regular expression inside the string. Otherwise, it returns -1.
Example
var re = /apples/gi; var str = "Apples are round, and apples are juicy."; if ( str.search(re) == -1 ) { console.log("Does not contain Apples" ); } else { console.log("Contains Apples" ); }
Output
