npm install near
`JavaScript
var near = require('near');
var list = ['a', 'b', 'b', 'a'];
// The result is just like indexOf
near(list, 'a') // 0;
near(list, 'c') // -1;
// But you can give it a starting position, and it will also look behind
near(list, 'a', 1) // 0;
near(list, 'a', 2) // 3;
// Futhermore you can give it an interval (more efficient than doing a slice)``
near(list, 'a', 1, [1,2]) // -1
near(list, 'a', 1, [1,Infinity]) // 3
