My Google searches so far turn up > zilch. igrep only supports ange-ftp (and efs) to the extent that the igrep-visited-files and Buffer-menu-igrep commands explicitly ignore remote files. To properly support remote files, igrep would need to invoke the grep command in a remote shell. I know there has been discussion about whether Emacs should implement process handlers, so that tramp could run programs on a remote host when invoked from a buffer visiting a remote file. But I don't know what was decided and implemented (if anything). Thanks, -- Kevin Rodgers
