indexOf() is an Array object based method, searching in a string as an arrat like object (array of char), while search() is effectively regular expression based... They are not stricly the same, even if they are equivalent on some context ^^

"The search value can be string or a regular expression." So I suppose search() is designed for regular expressions, while indexOf is not. Quote from: https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_search.asp
