Maybe something like:

x="my string I'm going to SEarCH"
hasword='SEARCH' in x.upper()
location=x.upper().find('SEARCH')

print hasword
True

print location
23

string.find is deprecated as per the official python documentation.

take a look at the "re" module

The string method .lower() is not deprecated.

No. RTFM and don't top post.

The functions such as lower() and find() in the string *module* are
deprecated. The methods are what you should use.

My apologies, I confused the built-in "str" with the module "string".
I was reading from the section of the 2.4.4 docs called: 4.1.4
Deprecated string functions

Thank you everyone. :) Johny did say "string.find" in his message, not
"str.find", but continue to proceed with flogging. thank you!

Regular expressions are way, WAY overkill for a simple find. Just use
the string methods. Instead of this:

import string
string.find("Norwegian Blue", "Blue")
just do this:

"Norwegian Blue".find("Blue")

For case insensitive find:

"Norwegian Blue".lower().find("Blue".lower())

(or better still, turn it into a function).
