title: Looking for jQuery find(..) method that  includes the current node
body: <p>The jQuery <a href="http://api.jquery.com/find/" rel="noreferrer">find(..)</a> traversal method doesn't include the current node - it starts with the children of the current node.  What is the best way to call a find operation that includes the current node in its matching algorithm? Looking through the docs nothing immediately jumps out at me. </p>
