Well I appreciate the comment and will do so, but it doesn't seem inappropriate here either. There has been a major discussion here that overlaps texi lists but no one has suggested to remove it to texi lists. This serveral thread discussion about reworking info and texi output for online reading etc. > >> And could it be also included in the new formats under discussion? > > Sorry, I don't understand the question: what does search have to do > with a change in format? There has been a fair bit of discussion here about redoing info and texi to generate a new format for online reading of info in html+ javascritp/xtml etc. One point in that discussion has been where the searching would take place, on server or client. See MID Message-ID: <87r800dr09.fsf@kanga.tapsellferrier.co.uk> for a small example. A regex search could be pretty intensive over a remote connection I guess so I'm asking if a regex search is feasable to be built into the new formats under discussion. As I understand it, a regex search engine under javascript or whatever would work differently than the current one inside emacs (`s' search)
