I'm looking to use the following code to not check whether there is a word matching in the Trie but to return a list all words beginning with the prefix inputted by the user. Can someone point me in the right direction? I can't get it working at all.....

public boolean search(String s)
{
    Node current = root;
    System.out.println("\nSearching for string: "+s);

    while(current != null)
    {
        for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++)
        {               
            if(current.child[(int)(s.charAt(i)-'a')] == null)
            {
                System.out.println("Cannot find string: "+s);
                return false;
            }
            else
            {
                current = current.child[(int)(s.charAt(i)-'a')];
                System.out.println("Found character: "+ current.content);
            }
        }
        // If we are here, the string exists.
        // But to ensure unwanted substrings are not found:

        if (current.marker == true)
        {
            System.out.println("Found string: "+s);
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            System.out.println("Cannot find string: "+s +"(only present as a substring)");
            return false;
        }
    }

    return false; 
}

}
