| SearchKey |
The text to look for. |
| Target |
The data that will be searched for specified search key. |

// NOTE 8/3/2011: If you search for something that situates in the end of the area
// (for example if the area contains a string: "this is just a test", and you search for
// "test") then the funciton returns -1. A workaround for this is to add ...
//
// AddStringToArea("",[area]);
//
// ... before using the funciton.
