# # `search()`

The search method searches the collection for the given value and returns its key if found. If the item is not found, false is returned.

    const collection = collect([2, 4, 6, 8]);

    collection.search(4);

    //=> 1

The search is done using a "loose" comparison, meaning a string with an integer value will be considered equal to an integer of the same value. To use strict comparison, pass true as the second argument to the method:

    collection.search("4", true);

    //=> false

Alternatively, you may pass in your own callback to search for the first item that passes your truth test:

    collection.search(function(item, key) {
      return item > 5;
    });

    //=> 2
