> Method implementation:
> 	/**
> 	 * Searches for all appearances of <code>searchString</code> (ignoring case) in <code>text</code> and replaces them by <code>replacement</code>.
> 	 * The difference to {@link String#replace(CharSequence, CharSequence)} and {@link StringUtils#replace(String, String, String)} is that this implementation ignores case.
> 	 *  
> 	 * @param text The text in which to do replacements.
> 	 * @param searchString The string to remove from the text (ignoring case).
> 	 * @param replacement The string to put instead of the searchString.
> 	 * @return A new string with all searchString replaced by replacement.
> 	 * @author frickert
