+# Find
+
+Find (`⍷`) searches for occurrences of an array `𝕨` within `𝕩`. The result contains a boolean for each possible location, which is 1 if `𝕨` was found there and 0 if not.
+
+        "xx" ⍷ "xxbdxxxcx"
+
+More precisely `𝕨` needs to [match](match.md) a contiguous selection from `𝕩`, which for strings means a substring. These subarrays of `𝕩` are also exactly the cells in the result of [Windows](windows.md). In fact we can use Windows to see all the arrays `𝕨` will be compared against.
+
+        2 ↕ "xxbdxxxcx"
+
+        "xx"⊸≡˘ 2 ↕ "xxbdxxxcx"
+
+Like Windows, the result usually doesn't have the same dimensions as `𝕩`. This is easier to see when `𝕨` is longer. It differs from APL's version, which includes trailing 0s in order to maintain the same length. Bringing the size up to that of `𝕩` is easy enough with [Take](take.md) (`↑`), while shortening a padded result would be harder.
+
+        "string" ⍷ "substring"
+
+        "string" (≢∘⊢↑⍷) "substring"  # APL style
+
+If `𝕨` is larger than `𝕩`, the result is empty, and there's no error even in cases where Windows would fail. One place this tends to come up is when applying [First](pick.md) (`⊑`) the result: `⊑⍷` tests whether `𝕨` appears in `𝕩` at the first position, that is, whether it's a prefix of `𝕩`. If `𝕨` is longer than `𝕩` it shouldn't be a prefix, so 0 is appropriate.
+
+        "loooooong" ⍷ "short"
+
+        9 ↕ "short"
+
+        ⊑ "loooooong" ⍷ "short"
+
+This pattern also works in the high-rank case discussed below, testing whether `𝕨` is a multi-dimensional prefix starting at the lowest-index corner of `𝕩`.
+
+### Higher ranks
+
+If `𝕨` and `𝕩` are two-dimensional then Find does a two-dimensional search. The cells used are also found in `𝕨≢⊸↕𝕩`. For example, the bottom-right corner of `𝕩` below matches `𝕨`, so there's a 1 in the bottom-right corner of the result.

+        ⊢ a ← 7 (4|⋆˜)⌜○↕ 9   # Array with patterns
+
+        (0‿3‿0≍0‿1‿0) ⍷ a
+
+It's also allowed for `𝕨` to have a smaller rank than `𝕩`; in this case leading axes of `𝕩` are mapped over so that axes of `𝕨` correspond to trailing axes of `𝕩`. This is a minor violation of the [leading axis](leading.md) principle, which would match axes of `𝕨` to leading axes of `𝕩` in order to make a function that's useful with the Rank operator, but such a function would be quite strange and hardly ever useful.
