+ * This is a 'general' search function for the sqlite database...
+ * 
+ * @param {string} table The table to search in.
+ * @param {string} matchField If not 'undefined' or 'null' match 'matchQuery' in this field.
+ * @param {string} matchQuery The value to search for in 'matchField'.
+ * @param {string} orderBy The field of which to order by, if 'null' or 'undefined' it is whatever sqlite sees as default.
+ * @param {boolean} descending If true: sort in ascending order instead of ascending order.
+ * @param {string} method If set to "all" it will give all results instead of only one.
+ * @param {number} page The function paginates; this sets the page to look for.
+ * 
+ * @returns {Promise} Returns a promise which wither resolves with the data or rejects with an error.
