String search on an array returns nothing

I have a public database of information that I want to reformat using jQuery, JavaScript (and later HTML and CSS). I'm trying to create new groups within the table using information provided. In this specific example, I want to find every instance the month of August appears in a table.

I've tried two methods to search the content, and both return an empty array ( '[]' ). This is confusing because I can log the content in the console, but it won't add to a new array.

//DETECT ROWS, COLUMNS
var tableArray = [];

$("table#tableTest tr").each(function() {
    var arrayOfThisRow = [];
    var tableData = $(this).find('td');
    if (tableData.length > 0) {
        tableData.each(function() { arrayOfThisRow.push($(this).text()); });
        tableArray.push(arrayOfThisRow);
    }
});

//SAMPLE LOGS
console.log("R1, C5: " + tableArray[4][3]);
console.log("Total row hits: " + tableArray.length);

//CHECK FOR MONTH (AUGUST)

//Using for 
function month() {
    //indices represents matches within var text and will be different for each row. 
    var indices = [];
    //This executes for every row, 0 column.
    for (var i = 0; i < tableArray.length; i++) {
        //text represents the text contents of current position.
        var text = tableArray[i][0];
    //h represents each letter of text.
        for(var h = 0; h < text.length; h++) {
            if (text[h] === "A") {
                // If we find it, add characters up to
                // the length of month to the array
                for(var j = h; j < (month.length + h); j++) {
                    indices.push(text[j]);
                };
            };
        };

        //Log every month (works)
        //console.log(tableArray[i][0]);
    };
    return indices;
};

month("August");

//Alternative method
var indices = [];
var element = "August";
var idx = tableArray.indexOf(element);
while (idx != -1) {
  indices.push(idx);
  idx = tableArray.indexOf(element, idx + 1);
}
console.log(indices);
