Use of search path in plpgsql functions, PG 8.3.12

Hello,

At present i have the following

Schema 1
-------------

Table: events

Public Schema
-------------

Table: events

Function

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "public"."recurring_events_for" (
"range_start" timestamp,
"range_end" timestamp,
"time_zone" varchar,
"events_limit" integer
)
RETURNS SETOF "events" AS

....

If i set the search path to schema1,public the function still returns rows from the events table in the public schema. I would like to use the same function for both schema's. I'm sure i'm missing something obvious, can anyone help me understand this better ?

Thanks
