FileSearch looks for the file Name in DirList, where dirlist is a list of directories, separated by semicolons or colons. It returns the full filename of the first match found. The optional Options parameter may be specified to influence the behaviour of the search algorithm. It is a set of the following options:
A deprecated form of the function allowed to specify using the boolean ImplicitCurrentDir parameter whether the current directory was searched implicitly or not. By default, the current directory is searched.
On error, an empty string is returned.
