# `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.

```js
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:

```js
collection.search('4', true);

// false
```

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

```js
collection.search((item, key) => item > 5);

// 2
```
