Dear All,
Suppose you are writing some code with a lot of documentation in the
form of comments within the code itself. Now, if you use C-s to look for
a word, emacs will also search though the comments.
Is there a way to tell emacs that it should look for a
word/expression/string skipping the comments?
Many thanks
Lorenzo

Isearch-forward-regexp? With a regexp which does exclude the comment
character?

Originally I wrote this for following buttons in a help buffer.
(defun isearch-with-predicate (predicate
indicator
&optional backward regexp)
(let ((isearch-search-fun-function
#'(lambda nil
#'(lambda (string &optional bound no-error)
(isearch-with-predicate-search-fn
predicate string bound no-error))))
(isearch-message-prefix-add indicator))
(isearch-mode (not backward) regexp nil t)))
(defun isearch-with-predicate-search-fn (predicate
string
&optional bound no-error)
(let* (isearch-search-fun-function
(search-fun (isearch-search-fun))
found
limit)
(save-excursion
(while (and (setq found
(funcall search-fun string bound no-error))
(not (setq found
(and (save-match-data
(funcall predicate)) found)))))
(setq limit (point)))
(if found
(goto-char found)
(when (not (eq no-error t))
(goto-char limit)
nil))))
(defun isearch-nocomment (&optional backward regexp)
(interactive)
(isearch-with-predicate #'(lambda nil
(not (nth 4 (syntax-ppss))))
"(NoComments)"
backward regexp))
