Make sure you have a Common Lisp reference handy.
The ANSI CL standard is available in a hypertextified

For more information about Lisp visit http://www.lisp.org .

FIND item sequence &key :from-end :test :test-not :start
:end :key

returns the first element in the specified portion of sequence that
matches item according to test, or nil if no element matches.
? (find #\a "BANANA" :test #'char=)
NIL
