    * todo:
-   * - Fix exists function
    * - Test prefix searching, which turns found strings to list.
-   *
-   * Problem with exists function:
-   * exists ("hello", trie) returns true as expected
-   * but exists ("hellop", trie) also returns true
-   * even though "hellop" was never added.
-   *
-   * "helloz" also returns true, although "hellopo" returns false.
-   * Problem occurs when trieKey length > searchKey length + 1 apparently.
