Default ISLOGICAL function

Cell A1 contains the value "Insurance Claim" and Cell A2 contains the value
"Insurance Loss" and Cell A3 contains the value "Claim for Insurance". The
adjacent cells in column B contain the formula
=IF(ISERROR(FIND("Claim",Ax,1)),"No Claim","Claim"), where "x" is the row
number and these formulas do return the expected results: "Claim", "No Claim"
and "Claim" in the respective cells. However, when I change the formulas to
read =IF(ISLOGICAL(FIND("Claim",Ax,1)),"Claim","No Claim"), they display "No
Claim" for all three cells. I expected to see the same results as generated
by the ISERROR formula. Any idea for correcting the ISLOGICAL formula or any
explanation why these are the results? I have a more complex set of data
where using the ISERROR function makes the formula too complex to give the
desired results.
