search

This function was widely inspired by dwebb's File Search function (see: http://www.zend.com/codex.php?id=301&single=1) It's basically the same function but now it returns an array to support multiple matches, it's also more flexible because I used stristr() instead of a literal match, wich is quite useless for a search function...
