"Search for the next region of text where PREDICATE is true.
PREDICATE is used to decide whether a value of PROPERTY should be

"Search for next region of text where PREDICATE returns non-nil for PROPERTY.
PREDICATE is used to decide whether the value of PROPERTY at a given
buffer position should be considered as a match for VALUE.
VALUE defaults to nil if omitted.
If PREDICATE is a function, it will be called with two arguments:
VALUE and the value of PROPERTY. The function should return
non-nil if these two values are to be considered a match.
VALUE and the value of PROPERTY at some buffer position. The function
should return non-nil if these two values are to be considered a match.
Two special values of PREDICATE can also be used:
If PREDICATE is t, that means a value must `equal' VALUE to be
considered a match.
If PREDICATE is nil (which is the default value), a value will
match if is not `equal' to VALUE. Furthermore, a nil PREDICATE
means that the match region is ended if the value changes. For
If PREDICATE is t, that means the value of PROPERTY must `equal' VALUE
to be considered a match.
If PREDICATE is nil (which is the default), the value of PROPERTY will
match if it is not `equal' to VALUE. Furthermore, a nil PREDICATE
means that the match region ends where the value changes. For
instance, this means that if you loop with
(while (setq prop (text-property-search-forward \\='face))
...)
you will get all distinct regions with non-nil `face' values in
you will get all the distinct regions with non-nil `face' values in
the buffer, and the `prop' object will have the details about the
match. See the manual for more details and examples about how
VALUE and PREDICATE interact.
If NOT-CURRENT is non-nil, the function will search for the first
region that doesn't include point and has a value of PROPERTY
that matches VALUE.
If NOT-CURRENT is non-nil, current buffer position is not examined for
matches: the function will search for the first region that doesn't
include point and has a value of PROPERTY that matches VALUE.
If no matches can be found, return nil and don't move point.
If found, move point to the end of the region and return a
`prop-match' object describing the match. To access the details
of the match, use `prop-match-beginning' and `prop-match-end' for
the buffer positions that limit the region, and
`prop-match-value' for the value of PROPERTY in the region."
