   1. the value of the element
   2. the index of the element
   3. the Observable object being subscribed
2. [thisArg] (Any): Object to use as this when executing the predicate.

Returns

(Observable): An Observable sequence with the first element that matches the conditions defined by the specified predicate, if found; otherwise, undefined.

Example

/* Found an element */
var array = [1,2,3,4];

var source = Rx.Observable.from(array)
  .find(function (x, i, obs) { return x === 1; });

var subscription = source.subscribe(
  function (x) {
    console.log('Next: %s', x);
  },
  function (err) {
    console.log('Error: %s', err);
  },
  function () {
    console.log('Completed');
  });

// => Next: 1
// => Completed

/* Not found */
var array = [1,2,3,4];

var source = Rx.Observable.from(array)
  .find(function (x, i, obs) { return x === 5; });

var subscription = source.subscribe(
  function (x) {
    console.log('Next: %s', x);
  },
