This module/function lets you find a 2 dimensional list of indices for elements you are looking for in a super list. Example:
find([1,1,1,2,1,2,3,3],[1,2,3])
returns: [[0, 1, 2, 4], [3, 5], [6, 7]]

You would most likely want to use this module/function when you are trying to find more than one element in a list and do not want to split up the work by using more than one find function. This function can also be used to find only 1 element in a list. This can be done but the number you are searching for must have [] brackets around it. Example: find([1,1,1,2,1,2,3,3],[1])
Returns: [[0, 1, 2, 4]]
Wow that is really cool! Thanks
