  yes.  FIND, POSITION, SEARCH, CHAR, SUBSEQ, etc.

  note that most operations on characters and strings in Common Lisp are
  simply special cases of operations on elements and sequences.  many
  C-based programmers are frustrated because they think that Common Lisp
  has few string-handling functions.  Common Lisp has few string-only
  functions, so remember to look for sequence and array functions, too.
