[Item Index] component returns the index of a given item in a list or -1 if it does not find that item.

[List item] component returns the item of a given index in a list.

Therefore, if you are looking for a item in the list use [List item]. Instead if you want to know the index of an item, you must give it an item (exact) that contains that list using [Item Index] component.

Tip: Read the description of the components and their parameters. Rigth click on component>Help...

Also note that you almost never want to use [Item Index]. It doesn't do what you think it does. Use [Member Index] from the Sets panel instead.
