Why aren't you using find-grep? It's defined as <find . files and
grep for something in them>. Changing the "." to another directory,
for example an environment variable set before you launch GNU Emacs,
the search will start there. You can restrict the search to certain
file name(type)s (-name "*.[chm]" or \( -name <sort 1> -o -name <sort
2> -o -name <sort 3> \)). The output can be found in a buffer with
hypertext feature: clicking on a line like
./src/nsterm.m:4634: [self keyDown: theEvent];
opens that buffer read-write on the given line. The cursor is
positioned at the word you were looking for.
