Description:
Returns the index in an array containing a given (case-insensitive) value. It is analagous to listFind(), but with arrays. See also arrayFind().

Return Values:
Returns a number.

Example:

<cfscript>
	anArray = arrayNew(1);
	anArray[1] = "Camden";
	anArray[2] = "Archibald";
	anArray[3] = "Mueller";
	anArray[4] = "Dintenfass";
</cfscript>
