Getting part of string from input text

[Endbringer]

Hi!

I've got a <input> text tag that someone types in their search item. What I want to do is do a search that's like a Contains on a string.
Now my problem is, if the item i want to find is called &quot;State of Franklin Bikeway&quot; and the person types in &quot;state&quot;, how do I make it where it will do a search on the full name using the partial? Is this where the substring() function is better? or is there a contains() function?

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but I think I'd recommend the substr() function. -gerrygerry

I think the function you want is indexOf. Tracy Dryden
