Here is a plpsql function I put together to search db functions in
schemas other than pg_catalog and information_schema. Not the greatest
of coding, but it might help someone else trying to solve the same
issue I was having: to search all public functions for a list of
terms. Sample usage is below the code, as are some sample results.
Any changes/improvements/critcisms appreciated. (or even a better version!)
