-- variable input: search term

-- variable snippets: array with all snippets (as delivered by http://tinybrain.de:8080/tb-int/allsnippets.php)

-- returns: array of matching snippets

--   best matches first (well, smarter search engines would do that)

-- if we also get the snippet texts, we will match those too.

-- but that is a lot of data...
