But for my own needs, I have trained > Tramp to support `find-grep-dired'. HTH. find-grep-dired works, but unfortunately what I need is the grep output of matching lines within each file. There are generally many many individual matches for any given search, and narrowing it down to searching 30 files instead of 50 isn't sufficient. The dired-do-igrep (or grep-find tho I can't see how to limit the search to marked files as with igrep) results are exactly what I need. I haven't been able to find any remote search solution that does anything similar. In fact the only remote search that seems to work is the incremental dired-do-search, which is great in some instances, but not generally sufficient. Thanks for your help, tho! Cheers, -Dan
