::::::: I wonder if that would take us from the simplest 'first match' of functions like JS's '''.indexOf(), .find()''', and '''.findIndex()''', into a broader database query ? Perhaps there's an argument for restricting the scope a little ? Not sure … [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 20:21, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
:::::::: Normally, in all my professional travels in computer-land, I found that most users want to know ''all'' the cities whose (say) population is under five million, not just the first city in the list --- which depends on, in most cases for this Rosetta Code task, when each entry (city) was built/constructed (first come, first served, er, ··· first found). That's something most people don't care about or even know in which order the cities (entries) were "entered" (constructed). But, the task requirements are what they are. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:40, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
