And across (non-file) buffers.
And not just Isearching. The same node includes `multi-occur*'.
And not just an _addition_ of index entries for this (for both
files and buffers). The _existing_ index entries I mentioned
are misleading. They should be changed to specify finding
certain "identifiers" in files (but not non-file buffers, I
imagine). They are not really about searching, in the general
sense.
IOW, we should have index entries for (1) actually searching
and other index entries for (2) finding identifiers. (The
former can find text matches of any kind, not just identifiers.)
