The the major mode does matter for searching, in fact it's often
critical for correct searching. There are two key things a major mode
does which affects searching, it establishes a syntax and often defines
the value of case-fold-search.
I am concerned that making etags invoke all major modes
might lead to a substantial slowdown (as it did in the past).
We could try it and see. If it does, the best thing to do
would be to indicate somehow which modes really need to be selected
during tags search.
The novisit behavior
has another down side to my thinking as well, the buffer is not
available in the buffer list unless a match was found. This makes for an
odd and arbitrary set of buffers. My preference is to have all buffers
which participated in the search to be available.
I strongly disagree.
