Try by

gs.info(array.indexOf("5"));

you can try indexOf and also it needs in following format.

var array = ['1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','10','11'];

gs.info(array.indexOf("5"));

Try following.

var array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11];

gs.info(array.indexOf(5));

as the element in your array are not strings so the passing value cannot be string to.
