Both arguments can be arrays of any [[shape]]. The entire left argument is tested against each position in the right argument. The result is a [[boolean]] array having the same shape as the right argument, where a 1 indicates the position of the [[first]] element of the matched subarray (which can be seen as the "leftmost" or "top left" position in case of a [[vector]] or [[matrix]]). If the left argument has lower [[rank]], it is treated as if the shape is prepended with ones. If the left argument has higher rank, Find does not error, but it is never found in the right argument (resulting in an all-zero array). | Both arguments can be arrays of any [[shape]].

Find can be modelled as follows (for non-empty left arguments), where all possible subarrays of the right argument are checked to see if they [[match]] the left argument:<ref>[[Roger Hui|Hui, Roger]].
