How to check if a string contains text from an arr

Question

Pretty straight forward. In javascript, I need to check if a string contains any substrings held in an array.

Not that I'm suggesting that you go and extend/modify String's prototype, but this is what I've done:

String.prototype.includes()

String.prototype.includes = function (includes) {
    console.warn("String.prototype.includes() has been modified.");
    return function (searchString, position) {
        if (searchString instanceof Array) {
            for (var i = 0; i < searchString.length; i++) {
                if (includes.call(this, searchString[i], position)) {
                    return true;
                }
            }
            return false;
        } else {
            return includes.call(this, searchString, position);
        }
    }
}(String.prototype.includes);

console.log('"Hello, World!".includes("foo");',          "Hello, World!".includes("foo")           ); // false
console.log('"Hello, World!".includes(",");',            "Hello, World!".includes(",")             ); // true
console.log('"Hello, World!".includes(["foo", ","])',    "Hello, World!".includes(["foo", ","])    ); // true
console.log('"Hello, World!".includes(["foo", ","], 6)', "Hello, World!".includes(["foo", ","], 6) ); // false
