/* The search functions take two arguments:

     1) a string to search for, and

     2) a pointer to a SEARCH_BINDING which contains the buffer, start,
        and end of the search.

   They return a long, which is the offset from the start of the buffer
   at which the match was found.  An offset of -1 indicates failure. */
