Subject: bug#48628: tags-search fails to find all occurences and finds one that it shouldn't
Date: Mon, 24 May 2021 09:48:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <000001d750bc$9f5301d0$ddf90570$@net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <83y2c4ccrb.fsf@gnu.org>

No, not when using tags-search, tags-query-replace. They use the tags file
only to identify what files to search in. However, you are correct when
using things like M-. (xref-find-definitions) when the definition has been
moved too far from its original location.

The failure of tags-search (and the same sort of failure happens with
tags-query-replace) is new to the 28 versions as best I can determine.

When you change the file, and you want exact results, you need to
re-run etags, right?
