- * look for key in the tree.  path is filled in with nodes along the way

- * search a negative error number is returned.
+ * @trans:	Handle of transaction, used when modifying the tree
+ * @p:		Holds all btree nodes along the search path
+ * @root:	The root node of the tree
+ * @key:	The key we are looking for
+ * @ins_len:	Indicates purpose of search, for inserts it is 1, for
+ *		deletions it's -1. 0 for plain searches
+ * @cow:	boolean should CoW operations be performed. Must always be 1
+ *		when modifying the tree.
  *
- * if ins_len > 0, nodes and leaves will be split as we walk down the
