AFAIU, your proposal will greatly slow down "C-h S" in emacs-lisp-mode, because of the need to scan many more indices, and for no good reason AFAICT. > ["(efaq-w32)Indexes" should probably be included conditionally, for MS > Windows. And perhaps on other platforms `emacs -Q' gives a different > set of manuals, so other adjustments could be made.] That would be sub-optimal, IMO, because questions specific to certain platforms can be asked and answered by people who run on other platforms. Instead, we should be more selective in the regexps that match symbols; for example, a symbol that starts with "w32-" should trigger search in efaq-w32 as well.
