You can use the ideas and models in
http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Essays/Tolerant_Comparison .  Tolerant
index-of is not modeled there but obtains without much difficulty:

   tidot=: 1 : '#@[ - +/"1@:(+./\"1)@:(m teq"0/)~'

   x=: 2 1 3
   y=: 1+0.1*i.25
   x 0.1 tidot y
1 1 3 3 3 3 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3
