I spent 2 days researching them and couldnt find any reference to the capitol S, therefore I couldn't fully understand the sample I was using.

Make sure to also read the text/websites and not just scim through the code examples.
Especially the lua tutorial and wiki pages.
I just did a small experiment and started a google search with "lua string" and every other subsequent search was only "allowed" if I read the term on a previous found page. (Trying to simulate a google search of somebody who doesnt know any of the terminology).
It took me less then 10minutes to get to the page, Sharlikran posted.
(On which, as mentioned before is the capital S actually mentioned)
I am not doubting the amount of time you invest in researching stuff, but suggesting to rather go into detail with a few rather to click through many. Just as an advise for future google searches
