Actually, I would say changing the existing function to actually return true or false would be appropriate.  Add the ? to the end of the function name, and then let people use ie.text.index etc to get the index of occurance.

j.

... the example would be:
assert( ie.contains_text? "blah" )

This is accurate, but i'd like to also get accross that this is intended to
be used in if or assert statements.

I'm wondering if it might not be better to deprecate ie.contains_text and
just encourage people to use ie.text.index or ie.text.match instead.
