Description

For the following script,

 def names = []
names << "Anand"
names << "Aditya"
names << "Abhi"

def searchItem = "bug"

if (names.find() == searchItem)
    println "item found "
else
    println "Item not found "

println "adding the Item"

names << searchItem

println "Item added"
println "values: $names"
println "trying again"

if (names.find() == searchItem)
    println "Item found "
else
    println "Item still not found "  

In list there first the search item is not present and it has yielded false but then i added the item and still find method is giving false. The opposite case work well i.e if initially item is there it gives true and then if i remove it then it gives false.
Is it how it is designed to work or is this a bug.
