* all the descendants of a node have a common prefix of the string associated with that node, so it should be easy to search if there are any words in the trie that starts with the given prefix.

* we go down the tree depending on the given prefix, once we cannot find the child node, the search fails.

* we can also search for a specific word rather than a prefix, treating this word as a prefix and searching in the same way as above.

* if the search succeeds, we need to check if the target word is only a prefix of words in the trie or if it's exactly a word (for example, by adding a boolean flag).
