Running the following will give a good idea of how the FIndNoCase function works:

<cfset stringToSearch = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.">

stringToSearch = <cfoutput>#stringToSearch#</cfoutput><br>
<p>
Find Function:<br>
Find("the",stringToSearch) returns <cfoutput>#find("the",stringToSearch)#</cfoutput><br>
<p>
FindNoCase Function:<br>
FindNoCase("the",stringToSearch) returns <cfoutput>#FindNoCase("the",stringToSearch)#</cfoutput>

The Find function will return 33 as the first position found because "the" is lower case. The FindNoCase function will return 1 as the first postion as the case is ignored.

If substring is longer than string, you will get 'StackOverflowError'. This error will not be caught by a try/catch block and will just error out with a very ugly and non-descript message.

Is the start position 0-based or 1-based ? Go figure.

Actually positions in string seem to be 1-based. It can be deduced from the fact that 0 is used when substring is not found (instead of substring position), so 0 cannot be a substring position.
However documentation shoud clearly mention this. Because programmers familiar with most other programming languages would expect offsets to be 0-based.
