Tests:

indexOf at end of sentence v1
let x = 0; const numberOfStrings = window.numberOfStrings; const allStrings = window.allStrings; const testWord = window.testWord; const testWordLen = testWord.length; while (x < numberOfStrings) { const str = allStrings[x]; str.indexOf(testWord) === str.length - testWordLen; x += 1; }
indexOf at end of sentence v2
let x = 0; const numberOfStrings = window.numberOfStrings; const allStrings = window.allStrings; const testWord = window.testWord; const testWordLen = testWord.length; while (x < numberOfStrings) { const str = allStrings[x]; str.length - str.indexOf(testWord) !== str.length + 1; x += 1; }
string endsWith
let x = 0; const numberOfStrings = window.numberOfStrings; const allStrings = window.allStrings; const testWord = window.testWord; while (x < numberOfStrings) { const str = allStrings[x]; str.endsWith(testWord); x += 1; }
Regex match ends with
let x = 0; const numberOfStrings = window.numberOfStrings; const allStrings = window.allStrings; const testWord = window.testWord; const testWordRegExp = new RegExp(`${testWord}$`); while (x < numberOfStrings) { const str = allStrings[x]; str.match(testWordRegExp); x += 1; }
indexOf starts with

search starts with

Regex match starts with
