// This script is to be executed for the 'Scan Msgs' loadable module, configured

// This module is used for:

// - Find text in messages

//                              Bug fix: Switched to bbs.scan_msgs() instead of
//                              bbs.scan_subs() for all other scan modes besides
//                              SCAN_READ.

// For stock Synchronet functionality:
//bbs.scan_msgs([sub-board=current] [,mode=SCAN_READ] [,string find])

// 1. The sub-board internal code
// 2. The scan mode (numeric)
// 3. Optional: Search text (if any)
