My version is not new enough to support inter-file searching directly, so I've used tags-search. I'm searching for something like "\bx\b". It turned out that some of the matches are missed, because $ is considered as a word (as in the fundamental mode). This is out of my expectation, since it is a LaTeX file and in the LaTeX mode of AucTeX, $ is considered not a word. Perhaps when Emacs performs a tags-search it do it in a temp buffer which does not have the correct mode loaded? I consider this a bug in etags. Regards, Isaac
