Performs a case-insensitive (OS independent) file searches.
This object is copyable.
On case-insensitive file systems (like NTFS) the search is simple and doesn't differ from what one would expect of the system tools to do.
On case-sensitive file systems (Linux FS-es) the search goes against the principles of the OS and treats files with alternating letter case the same. So, on Linux doom2.wad, DOOM2.WAD and doom2.WAD are all treated as equal. If more than one file is present in a searched directory, only one path is returned and it's undefined which one will it be.
Search is performed in a set of paths retrieved from configuration or specified manually through constructor and addPrioritySearchDir().

| void PathFinder::addPrioritySearchDir | ( | const QString & | dir | ) |
Provides a directory where we should search first before going to user specified locations. This function can take either a directory or a file as its input. If a file is given the directory part will be extracted.

Performs a search for a single file.
