Summary

• The .includes() method on strings returns true if the search string is found anywhere within the original string, and false otherwise.
• The search is case-sensitive, so "Fox" and "fox" are treated as different values.
• You can pass an optional second argument to specify the position in the string to begin searching from. This is useful when you want to skip a portion of the string.
• .includes() works for searching single characters, words, or entire sentences, making it a versatile tool for string searching in JavaScript.
