listContains searches for a value anywhere in the string, e.g.

<cfset list = '1,2,33,4,5' />
<cfdump var="#listContains(list,3)#">

Will return 3 because 3 is found in the 3rd list item.

listFind Searches for the value of AS as one of the list items.

<cfdump var="#listFind(list,3)#">

Returns 0 because 3 is not one of the elements in the list.
