2. ll.SubStringIndex return value is odd

   Starting to do some testing and I have many many questions, but ran into this trying out some simple code and found that ll.SubStringIndex returns nil if it fails to find the sub string, and it returns number if it finds something. Which of course is not at all like what LSL does with returning -1 when the sub string is not found. Since I'm new to this, is this a bug or a feature? If it's a feature, what's the proper way to write an if statement that works? And as I'm very not up to speed with luau yet, is there an obvious way to do this query directly in luau? Thanks
