This is the as advertised behavior, -1 is the index that matches your
query (meaning none match)

Try this for some insight
a=findgen(10)
ind=where(a eq 2.4, n_ind)
print, a, ind

and you get -1, 0. Meaning no elements in a are equal to 2.4 since
they are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.

Make sense?

Cheers,

Brian
