I have indeed some problems converting it to a loop or to a tail-recusrsive 
function. It's of the form:

let rec search result =
	if some_test then record_the result
	else begin
		iter (fun element ->
			iter (fun ...);
			search (element :: result); (* !!! *)
			iter (fun ...);
		) data
	end
;;	

so the recursive call is in the middle and in an List.iter statment :-(
