That's rather wrong: dired-do-find-regexp performs regexp-search inside the files. xref-find-apropos, on the other hand, performs regexp search inside the definitions index (obarray for elisp backend, and TAGS file for etags backend). Although I get that you might want to avoid mentioning project-find-regexp here, and there's no other suitable command to compare to. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

I think calling it "a variant of" or "similar to" xref-find-references instead would be better. The decision is up to you, it's not too big a problem either way. I'd just like to add that xref-query-replace works in dired-do-find-regexp output, but doesn't work in xref-find-apropos output. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
