Question

I have got an array that consists of strings. I have made a function that searches the array based on the search term parameter. However, when i run the code it only ever outputs the string at index 0 of the array. I want it to return the corresponding url in the array when a search is run.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This is a correct version of your program:

var arrayOfURL = [
                 "http://www.google.co.uk~Google is a search engine.",
                 "http://www.yahoo.co.uk~Yahoo is another search engine.",
                 "http://bing.com~Bing is a decision engine."
                 ];

function findURL(arrayOfURL,search)
{   
    var searchtoLower = search.toLowerCase();
    for (var i = 0; i < arrayOfURL.length; i++)
    {     
        var z = arrayOfURL[i].toLowerCase().split('~')[1]; 
        if (z.indexOf(searchtoLower) != -1)
            return arrayOfURL[i];
    }

     return "Nothing Found!";
}


findURL(arrayOfURL,"decision")

I hope it can help you.
