+#### substr
+
+Returns a substring of the given string, starting at the specified `begin` index and
+extending for `length` characters. If the range exceeds the string's length, it will return
+as many characters as possible.
+
+Example: `{{ value | find(begin = 0, length=300) }}`

+#### find
+
+Returns first position of the given string, or -1 if not found
+
+Example: `{{ value | find("Hello") }}`
+
+#### rfind
+
+Returns the last position of the given string, or string length if not found
+
+Example: `{{ value | rfind("World") }}`

 #### default
 Returns the default value given only if the variable evaluated is not present in the context
 and is therefore meant to be at the beginning of a filter chain if there are several filters.
