Hi all for the feedback

Indeed it's logical afterward, and it has been made to be fast and efficient 
... but I spent a lot of time in finding my mistake that it uses a 
"local/temporary" index than a "global" one.

I share your suggestion in adding an example in the doc to prevent Scilab 
users, but the question is "where" ?

I would have made the same mistake (-:

Now if we look at the documentation
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__help.scilab.org_docs_6.0.2_en-5FUS_extraction.html&d=DwIGaQ&c=0hKVUfnuoBozYN8UvxPA-w&r=2R_Eyw3woK4XVPnEug_8oZFQfCE8Ul6UYufxQizYx6k&m=h_9KPbMv5WwpOSsz29HjgLF8hOXdEKk2R2dkyVy334w&s=zrjH9zC_wmeR2sNsnm6LqAH5OhklVr2sn_50F2Z1Fjo&e=
we read "r=x(i,j) builds the matrix r such as […]"

and
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__help.scilab.org_docs_6.0.2_en-5FUS_find.html&d=DwIGaQ&c=0hKVUfnuoBozYN8UvxPA-w&r=2R_Eyw3woK4XVPnEug_8oZFQfCE8Ul6UYufxQizYx6k&m=h_9KPbMv5WwpOSsz29HjgLF8hOXdEKk2R2dkyVy334w&s=OYg1le1-U4zV-uuw5ELo1kH_6ne9heq4jXFovUh3B0o&e=
"If x is a boolean matrix, ii=find(x) returns […]"

so the behaviour seems quite logical.

But it might be a good idea to provide an example such as yours in the 
documentation, at least to preserve our injured self-esteem (we are not the 
only two who have been fooled).
