* USAGE
*
* Before a search can be performed, a configuration must be created
- * by calling textsearch_prepare() specyfing the searching algorithm and
- * the pattern to look for. The returned configuration may then be used
- * for an arbitary amount of times and even in parallel as long as a
- * separate struct ts_state variable is provided to every instance.
+ * by calling textsearch_prepare() specifying the searching algorithm,
+ * the pattern to look for and flags. As a flag, you can set TS_IGNORECASE
+ * to perform case insensitive matching. But it might slow down
+ * performance of algorithm, so you should use it at own your risk.
+ * The returned configuration may then be used for an arbitary

*
* The actual search is performed by either calling textsearch_find_-
* continuous() for linear data or by providing an own get_next_block()
