Sorry I didnt make it clear -- this is not in emacs. Yes there is helm-recoll -- but Ive not tried it I just use recoll at the command line (or Alt-F2) Also for simple file-name searching locate works good And works well inside emacs (M-x locate ) Both locate and recoll need a make/update index step which is - cpu and time intensive - tends to get stale My vague recollection is that tracker does this automatically but I found it too intrusive. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread

If you really want index - in that you have a custom markup that explicityl specifies what an index is - you can go with etags or ctags. ---------------------------------------------------------------- (info "(mairix-el) Top") Mairix comes to mind.
