Is there a way to find the index of an item in a list, given that you are not using any data sources or API to import data, just a regular list?

Yes, use the `First occurrence of` block:

Thanks @tatiang. Just making sure.  
Say I have a list  
Apple  
Orange  
Mango  
Banana

I want to find the index of mango, will the ‘first occurrence of’ block return 3?
