jquery - Find element where child items h2 text has a specific value -

i think simple can't seem find right selector syntax. have html this:

<div class="parent">     <h2>summary</h2>     <p>... bunch of content ...</p> </div> <div class="parent">     <h2>statistics</h2>     <p>... bunch of content ...</p> </div> <div class="parent">     <h2>outcome</h2>     <p>... bunch of content ...</p> </div> 

i want find div h2 child contains text 'statistics'.

i tried various combinations of:

$(".parent").find("h2[text='statistics'").parent() 

which doesn't work find returns empty set. if this:

$(".parent").find("h2").text("statistics").parent() 

i 3 elements- of appear div containing statistics. add first() that, seems kind of gross. right syntax find 1 item?

use:

$(".parent").find("h2:contains('statistics')").parent(); 

this uses :contains() selector.
