See the find-first function in my cljutils library:
https://github.com/mikera/clojure-utils/blob/master/src/main/clojure/mikera/cljutils/find.clj

Note the initial check to see if the collection is Indexed: if it is then 
it is better to search by index than to create a seq (which causes a lot of 
unnecessary allocations)
