Yes it does. The String.prototype.indexOf method has a second, optional 
argument that specifies the position (zero-based, inclusive) from which 
the search begins. The same applies to String.prototype.lastIndexOf 
except that the default start is obviously the string length (the end) 
rather than 0.

For what it's worth, you can't actually delete characters from a string. 
Strings are immutable and any changes are separate, modified copies 
(with all the performance implications that may bring).

Hope that helps,
