What does it do?

Provides an easy way to search for text within a jQuery object. Rather than doing exact matches e.g. string === $('obj').text(), it searches for the words individually. There will probably be an option added later for exact matches.

How do I use it?

Like so:

$('p').textsearch({
    searchVal   : 'words to search for',
    callback    : function(obj, match) {
        // obj   : the individual object that was compared
        // match : true or false boolean value on whether a match was found or not
        
    }
})

The example is much more helpful! More updates later. Cheers!
