e.g.

ERROR: UndefVarError: search not defined

Where in the docs did you find this? Which version of the docs? As far as I can tell, they are up to date with the examples for the right version.

In fact, the [docs for Julia 1.0](https://docs.julialang.org/en/stable/manual/strings/#Common-Operations-1) has

```julia
julia> findfirst(isequal('p'), "xylophone")
5

```

which works just fine. Which is not surprising, as the docs are [tested with `jldoctest`](https://docs.julialang.org/en/stable/manual/documentation/#Documentation-1).

I think you’re using the docs for Julia v0.6. Much has happened since then.

The documentation you linked is for JuliaPro, which is not using julia 1.0 yet, but v0.6.4.

Always use the doc that comes with your julia installation. For instance, if you installed julia-1.0.0 under folder /home/user/Julia/, then the documentation is:  
/home/user/Julia/julia-1.0.0/share/doc/julia/html/en/index.html
