Thanks a lot for the tip! It did seem a bit over zealous to hop around
from file to file. But the way you use "never" makes me think, that it
is more than just common sense - is there another reason too?

The emacs lisp manual (i finally looked at it) suggests copying the
the contents of the file to an empty buffer (with
"insert-file-contents"), it seems a good idea in this case - i could
then just search that. What do you think?

Thanks again!
Daniel
